Hi Erich,
I suspect that the typeface you're using simply doesn't have the
"char-with-breve" and "char-with-macron" characters. That
happened to me a while back. I needed vowels with macrons to
print out some Romaji (romanized Japanese) words. I kept getting
errors like yours. I did a bit of digging, and found that the
standard Palatino Roman (P) font didn't have those characters.
However, the U-P font did. So I switched to that font and haven't
had any trouble since. The U-<whatever> fonts should be part of
the standard 1.22.3 version of Groff.
Just a thought.
