Re: Baffling accented glyphs issue

1) Look at the output of preconv The option '-k' for "groff" can't find the encoding with just one example of a character different from ascii or latin1. groff -k -V file preconv file | troff -Tps | grops 2) Add the same character to the file. preconv Lesson to learn: always use the i

Quoth Alejandro Colomar: The good news is that I like the implementation. I just don't like the name. I have a sizeof_array() macro that does #define sizeof_array(a) (sizeof(a) + must_be_array(a)) That is, it calculates the size in bytes that the array takes up in memory.

Re: Footer trap in a A4 PDF

The groff software is tuned to the imperial measurement system (inch etc.). Using another measurement system: A text line normally never touches exactly a trap but goes beyond it. Therefore a footer starts nearer the bottom edge than the measurement in metric (SI) units indicates.

There is a stale directory in the GNU groff project's website. https://www.gnu.org/software/groff/manual/html_node/ This corresponds to the groff 1.22.4 release, which is nearly 5 years old. The directory also shows up in ViewVC. https://web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/groff/g
