This is not possible, I think. `-m' only handles macro stuff.

Dear Werner,
What exactly do you mean? Converting UTF-8 to, say, latin-1 with
`iconv' is already a quick-and-dirty solution. Another possibility is
to take a groff UTF8 font definition file and put all Unicode->glyph
entities into a big perl (or python) table.
I mean that you had an idea to u

My suggestion would be to start by picking one of the several UTF-8
preprocessors that have floated across the list lately, and include
it in groff. Perhaps it's a little late to do for 1.19.2, but the

Dear Werner,

You have to convert your file first to something groff can understand.
Below is a small perl script which does that.
Attached is a small C program that does that.
Why not to put something like that code into groff

You can create those fonts yourself.

Dear Alejandro and All:
as far as I understand, the situation with character composition
in groff is as follows

Opentype fonts may have character composition information,
but it is hard to get out of the font.
PS fonts used to have composition information, but it
