Dear All,
let me remind you what Werner already said on the la/ra issue
about 09 MAr 2005, while discussing "ubuntu, groff and utf-8"
PS. Are you sure that mapping in devutf8 fonts (and other places)
`la' and `ra' to 0x27E8(MATHEMATICAL LEFT ANGLE BRACKET) and 0x27E9
is a good idea?
For UTF-8

Mhmm, a difficult topic... groffers, please raise your hands if you
object to the results of this discussion.

Applied, thanks.

OK, done. Please test.

OK, I see. And what do \(la and \(ra mean for groff? The math or the text
angle brackets?
