Nothing. This is a known limitation. Try soelim directly: soelim file1 file2 ... | groff ... Hmm. Adding -V to your incantation to show the groff pipe gives preconv -eutf8 Input.ms | soelim | troff -ms -Tps | grops Perhaps it makes sense to exchange preconv and soelim in the groff pipe? soelim Input.ms | preconv -eutf8 | troff -ms -Tps | grops This should be easy to implement, methinks...
