That was something I attempted to address a while ago, but got sidetracked. The goal would be to have mm documented as well as ms is now. > I thought I'd have to start with specifying the overall format of the > document … > > .LT BL > .LO SJ "A subject" > .MT 5 \" <--- What *is* a memorandum type? > .WA "Me" "Mr." > Blümchenstraße 12 > .WE > .HU "Dear Mr. or Mrs." > This is my letter with references\*(Rf > .RS > Such as this one > .RF The "memorandum type" specifies a particular type of document (which affects cover pages and other formatting). I suspect that using .LT and .MT in the same document is thus a bad idea. Some old XENIX documentation I have laying around suggests rearranging the order: .WA "Me" "Mr." Blümchenstraße 12 .WE .LO SJ "A subject" .LT BL .HU "Dear Mr. or Mrs." This is my letter with references\*(Rf .RS Such as this one .RF The idea is that the document type (.LT, .MT, etc) uses the information specified by .WA/.WE and .LO to format the "front matter." As for the ß character, try using the -k option to invoke the preconv(1) preprocessor. That should also fix any other non-ASCII characters (vowels with umlauts, for example) as well.
