Greetings folks, This one is puzzling me (and it may be that I have missed an upgrade/bugfix).
I wanted to plant an upward-pointing arrow with the single-line shaft. In .../font/devps/S (and SS) this is listed as "\[ua]", PostScript name "arrowup", with octal code 0255 (173 decimal). However, when I enetered it as "\fS\[ua]\fP" I got the upward-pointing arrow with the double-line shaft, which is what "\[uA]" should give (and indeed does, on my system). This has code 0335 octal, and PostScript name "arrowdblup". But then, when I changed "\[ua]" to "\N'173'", the decimal code for arrowup, I got what I wanted. So either something has changed the numerical encoding of \[ua] in groff (but despite searching I have found no clue), or possibly the input characters "\[ua]" were mis-interpreted as "\[uA]". Could this have something to do with locale? GNU troff (groff) version 1.18.1 System: Debian Etch Linux, regularly updated. Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 Any hints welcome!
