Quoth Lennart Jablonka:
and the character codes emitted are still those of the C/A/T, resulting in the wrong glyphs being used.The codes should probably be remapped by default, with a command-line option to restore the original ones. I would of course recommend writing out 'C' commands with groff special character names.The C instruction exists in AT&T troff, just not for names longer (or shorter?) than two characters. I’d rather not depend on groff. But yes, for such a remapping, I’ll probably use the c and C instructions.
I done did it, or something. I’ve attached a PDF of our favourite table. As you can see, there are still some issues left not explained by not having the correct Times: The ■ is at the right of the line, even though it’s on the left in the input. The $ is on the fifth line, even though it’s on the fourth in the input. And the extra pages at the end.
PS: heirloom troff -Tpost has a ∨ for \(or instead of the proper |.
