[Referring to http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-groff/2011-02/msg00007.html:
In my recent attempts to use groff 1.20.1 and the lj4 post processor, I have encountered a number of instances where certain character pairs (ff, fi, fl, ') are passed on to the hp printer as escape sequences that print as (1/2,¡,«, Æ). I discovered that (ff, fi, fl) are actually transferred to the printer as escape sequences, (\xab, \xad, \xae) and suspect a similar code for '. This leads me to believe that the lp4 post processor may have a problem. Can someone explore this and provide a solution?] Hi Jeff! Great to hear from you again! I take the liberty to CC the groff mailing list so that the discussion gets properly archived. > I'm still running 1.19.1; to your knowledge, did anyone made > significant changes between that and 1.20? No. There was a fundamental change under the hood how glyphs are represented, but theoretically this shouldn't affect grolj4. > The character codes are indeed as Michael describes them; they > display as the characters Michael mentions on a console set to code > page 437, but they should be OK in the appropriate symbol sets: PB > (6J) for ff and DT (7J) for fi and fl. I'm showing the correct > escape sequences to select those sets when I try to print the > characters. Thanks for this information. > I guess I'll ask Michael for some additional information. He's listening :-) Werner
