Yeah, I wonder if those were the UTF-8 patches that upstream rejected a while back for reasons that I didn't entirely follow. Okay, your analysis matches what I thought was going on. However, David Given seems to be seeing something else where some man pages are already encoded in UTF-8. So I guess I'm confused as to what's going on and what the current status is. If our groff really can handle UTF-8 input and is doing so for some locales, I'd love to declare all regular man pages are in UTF-8 and be done with it; that's a change that we can probably make without backward compatibility issues right now, since currently those code points are disallowed. I'd love to see this dealt with for lenny. I just don't know how realistic that is. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
