Dear Ralph, thanks a lot for writing to me and to take time to answer my questions. Thanks too for your command-lines, very useful for mailing! I hope you will understand very soon what I'm looking for.
The commands you send to me works fine for me too. My point is: in place of: $ printf 'test\xe9\n' | groff -me -mlatin9 -X it would be much faster and easier to write $ printf 'testé' | groff -me -mlatin9 -X but this command doesn't work With -man, it is possible: printf 'testé' | groff -man -Tlatin1 testé ...works! I don't understand what is the use of -mlatin9 because $ printf 'test\xe9\n' | groff -me -mlatin9 -X ...give the same result as $ printf 'test\xe9\n' | groff -me -X Thank you for your patience Cheers, Grégoire Le mardi 30 juillet 2013 à 14:42 +0100, Ralph Corderoy a écrit : > Bonjour Grégoire, > > > groff -me -Tlatin1 fichier > > 1.
