Certainly.

coming. At that time I tested also on Fedora 12, which was still using
Federico's man. I didn't notice that Fedora changed to man-db in the

roff in `/etc/man.conf'.
I was not using the -p option originally.
nroff is run after preconv. I don't see how the -t option helps.
My conclusion is that the coding tag in the man page is not working,
even when you disable all preprocessors and the coding tag gets to the
second line. Disabling all preprocessors is probably not what you want.
The only way out, with the use of Federico's man and preconv, is to
convert all man pages to UTF-8.
But there also appears to be man-db... See my next mail.
