As the submitter has not responded in nearly four years, and Deri (gropdf maintainer) offered a solution to the likeliest source of the problem, I'm closing this bug report.  Original submitter, if you are still having issues with this, please post a comment here, and the bug report can be reopened.

Deri asked for information almost 2 years ago.

It may be that some of the Romainian glyphs are not present in the font you are using. You may need to install a font (into groff) which contains all the glyphs you need. A suitable font is already on the system, since vim is using it, but it needs to be configured for groff.

You could look at:-

https://www.schaffter.ca/mom/mom-06.html

Which points to an install-fonts script (at the bottom of the page). You will need to use the groff command with "-Kutf8" flag, and there are no warnings.

I've got myself into experimenting with groff and from the start I found out the romanian special characters I type in vim are all fine (I ran setxkbmap ro), but get messed up in the pdf export.

Running


groff -Tpdf -ms letext.ms > letext.pdf


instead of ășâțî ĂȘÂȚÎ I get all kinds of other special characters.

Running


groff -Kutf8 -Tpdf -ms letext.ms > letext.pdf


some of the characters I want remain, but the others disappear and I get this message in the terminal


warning: can't find special character `u0074_0326'
