I have given up :(
I'll work with gpreconv, looking into your and Bernd Haible's solution to make a water-proof UTF-8 -> groff entity conversion.
Two modifications of gpreconv are attached. They both output \[uXXXX] instead of UTF-8. One version relies exclusively on iconv for conversion, while the other retains some built-in coversion routines from original gpreconv. But there are "not implemented yet" comments in roff-related parts of the code.
PS. Where do the enriched URW fonts live?Here is the desastrous report from Nelson Beebe: http://ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-devel/2004-October/003102.html The homepage appears to be http://unix.freshmeat.net/projects/urw-fonts-cyrillic/ but there isn't any recent information. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find any information regarding a version of the free URW fonts with Cyrillic extensions which fixes those problems :-( Maybe you have more luck.
Please, take a look at http://www.thessalonica.org.ru/en/fonts.html. And what exactly do you need? A complete set of base PS fonts with additional glyphs? I do not such thing exists. As a partial workaround, there are some tables floating around the Net, that describe ways to compose some extedned Latin glyphs from glyphs in base PS fonts. Sincerely, Michail
