(groff 1.19.2 was released ~2005-09-04.  The next release, groff 1.20.0, was on ~2009-01-05.)


commit e7c9dbd201a241e8c42f34ef09acbc16584f16c3
Author: Werner LEMBERG <wl@gnu.org>
Date:   Fri Dec 30 09:31:50 2005 +0000

    New preprocessor `preconv' to convert input encodings to something
    groff can understand.  Not yet integrated within groff.  Proper
    autoconf stuff is missing too.

    Tomohiro Kubota has written a first draft of this program, and some
    ideas have been reused (while almost no code has been taken
    actually).

    * src/preproc/preconv/preconv.cpp. src/preproc/preconv/Makefile.sub:
    New files.

    * MANIFEST, Makefile.in (CCPROGDIRS), test-groff.in
    (GROFF_BIN_PATH): Add preconv.

The current CVS version comes with a small preprocessor, preconv, to be activated with groff's -k or -K option, which can digest various encodings.  Please test.

I can not use groff with UTF-8 characters. Is this a bug or I doing something wrong?

echo "ščěš" | groff -Tutf8
<standard input>:1: warning: can't find numbered character 141
<standard input>:1: warning: can't find numbered character 155

GNU groff version 1.18.1
GNU troff (groff) version 1.18.1
GNU grops (groff) version 1.18.1

I found http://www.haible.de/bruno/gnu/groff-utf8.tar.gz, which working fine, but I prefer to use only one groff.
