Hello, With your help, Ralf, and the last command line you've given, I've discovered that my problem came from .lf request added by preconv: * My bashrc was containing GROFF_ENCODING="UTF-8" * I thought that commenting this line and sourcing bashrc would remove it, but not...
Fortunately things are working better now, Thanks a lot! The last problem is that if I want to use preconv and .rd request, the command line is quite not handy to write: $ echo -e "élégante" | preconv -r | groff -Tutf8 \ <(echo -e "Gantée, elle est\n.rd" | preconv -r ) Is it possible to pass the preconv "-r" option to groff? Pierre-Jean.
