I won't change the defaults. From the PROBLEMS file:
* The UTF-8 output of grotty has strange characters for the minus,
the hyphen, and the right quote. Why?
The used Unicode characters (U+2212 for the minus sign and U+2010
for the hyphen) are the correct ones, but many programs can't search
them properly. The same is true for the right quote (U+201D). To
map those characters back to the ASCII characters, insert the
following code snippet into the `troffrc' configuration file:
.if '\*[.T]'utf8' \{\
. char \- \N'45'
. char - \N'45'
. char ' \N'39'
.\}
Feel free to do similar things for all output you dislike.
