There are a number of Latin-1 (ISO 8859-1) files in the groff source distribution.
I suggest that it would be better for most or all of these to be converted to UTF-8. On my system, these files do not display correctly, since I have my system configured to use UTF-8 by default. I think most people are likely to be in a similar situation. For example, line 56 of the NEWS file appears on my system as: `WE` no longer re�nable it. This change makes groff mm consistent Converting to UTF-8, it appears as: `WE` no longer reënable it. This change makes groff mm consistent If there's a consensus that these files should be converted to UTF-8, I volunteer to submit a patch. I haven't closely examined all the relevant files, but for example I'm not sure what to do about tmac/fr.tmac lines 160-174. (The same file also has a Latin-1 accented letter in a comment on line 5.) -- Keith Thompson
