Hi Ralph, > > Is utf8 input not supported? > > It is not. Not directly, anyway.
(In general I like to use 7-bit input anyway.) So I understand it is best to have a latin1 (ISO 8859-1) coded input file for .hcode with umlauts? > Groff supports various single-byte encodings for input; see `Input > Encodings' node in `info groff'. To handle UTF-8 input, groff (1) has a > -k option that uses preconv(1). I put "preconv -e utf-8 <input files> | pic | ..." in front of the pipe and it does not seem to work (I prefer the pipe instead of groff(1)). It converts "รค" to "\[u00E4]" but pic(1) also complaines with "invalid input character code". Cheers, Carsten
