For instance, Czech UTF8 input (attached), will come out as garbage.
groff -Tps text.t > text.ps
groff -Tpdf text.t > text.pdf
groff -Tutf8 text.t > text.utf8
AFAIK, the input has to be preprocessed by preconv(1),
invoked by groff -k; is that what you meant? Then
groff -k -Tutf8 text.t > text.utf8
outputs the input, while
groff -k -Tps text.t > text.ps
groff -k -Tpdf text.t > text.pdf
complain about
troff: text.t:1: warning: can't find special character 'u0072_030C'
- I probably miss the fonts that groff would use for these characters.
Anyway, UTF8 is UTF8; I don't understand why there would be a difference
for this or that language, if UTF8 covers characters of both.
