Hi, I process this input .ps 20 This is a partly \f3bold\fP text.
This is a partly \f3böld\fP text. .ds MyBLD \f3\\$*\fP This is a partly \*[MyBLD bold] text. This is a partly \*[MyBLD "böld"] text. This is a partly \*[MyBLD böld] text. with groff -Tps -k test > test.ps For all but the last line I get the expected output. But the last line gives me test:12: missing `]' test:12: invalid base glyph `u00F6\fPld]' in composite glyph name test:12: warning: can't find special character `' The output of preconf test is (I show only the last lines): This is a partly \*[MyBLD "b\[u00F6]ld"] text. This is a partly \*[MyBLD b\[u00F6]ld] text. It seems groff expands to b\[u00F6]\fPld instead of b\[u00F6]ld\fP. Is this behaviour to be expected, or is it a bug in groff? Kind regards, ulrich
