For the Norwegian characters, you'll need to use constructions like "\[o/]" and "\[ae]". Forgive me, I'm away from my computer right now, and I can't remember how to specify the "a-with-ring" character. Read the man page for groff_char(7); that has the whole list of special characters. Oh, and you may need to use the URW++ font files. Those are the ones that start with "U-". Those fonts have more characters than the regular files.
As for the unwanted space character, try the following: There should .I not\c be a space after not.
