Hi, I’m trying to get into groff with the hopes that I could print my own literary drafts. However, I write in spanish and have had problems with accented characters such as (á, é, ó , etc). I have been searching and apparently groff doesn’t support utf-8, which is the format my files are written in. I have seen some people use a `preconv`command or a `-k` flag to convert their files for utf-8 into latin1 within the groff command. But the build I have on my Mac computer doesn’t seem to have this (version 1.19.2).
I would like to know what course of action should I pursue. I am a beginner into programming and the groff system seems fairly intimidating to me. I know you can use escape sequences in order to tell the troff formatter to use certain characters, but modifying my files with a sort of tailored script to replace all my accents seems burdensome. Many thanks,
