Follow-up Comment #7, bug #66122 (group groff): [comment #5 comment #5:] > One of the changes that was never committed from my deri-gropdf-ng branch was to om.tmac, which removed the calls to pdfmomclean IF using -T pdf, but retained the calls for -T ps.
Ah, yes, it'd be good to land that.
> Text in pdfs, such as Author, Title and Bookmarks, can be presented either
as PDFDocEncoding (a superset of ISO Latin-1) or UTF-16.

> Gropdf can handle being passed \[uXXXX] as text and converts this to UTF-16,
but grops can't, it treats it as plain text.
I believe this point leads directly to bug #62830.
> This is why pdfmomclean calls asciify to convert \[u00E9] back to "'e" which
grops handles.

Peter agrees to apply them.
These look good to me.
> I believe Branden is in favour of having all groff input clean 7 bit ascii
and encourage the use of preconv for anything else,
To reduce the level of mojibake confusion when we cut GNU _troff_ over to
interpreting UTF-8 input directly, yes.
> so this patch will stop the warning appearing for pdf output but permit
pdfroff to be used to create mom documents. As a bonus this patch (plus a
change to pdfmom just committed) will now allow mom documents like this:-
>

или Махновщина"
> .PDF_LINK Гуляйпольщина PREFIX ( SUFFIX ) "see: +"

> Thus allowing mom to be used in many languages (assuming you have suitable
fonts) and take over the world. :-)
Sounds like a big win to me!
> There is another of these "transparent device whatchamacallits" when
generating groff-man-pages.pdf (from groff_mmse.7) which can be fixed by
adding "-K utf8" to the pdfmom call in doc/doc.am.
I don't think that's quite right. The `-K` option runs _preconv_ and clues it
in to the name of the _input_ encoding.
-K enc Set input encoding used by preconv(1) to enc; implies -k.
So what we need here is `-K latin-1`.
And sure enough that works fine.
$ groff -K latin-1 -m an -T pdf -Z ./build/contrib/mm/groff_mmse.7 -Z | grep
