I agree! That really would be the best solution

Yes, this might be a good start. The problem is small, well defined,
and it would help you start with the implementation details.
Handling of hyphenation data structures is mainly in troff's source
code file `env.cpp', with some minor bits in `input.c
Werner,
You had suggested to me to start around process_input_stack earlier so I
have some handle on what goes around there. I will take this up.
Steffen,
I will help to understand this, will contact you soon.

"\(+-" works for me. Maybe the charactor order you use is wrong.

Sorry, had not read the mail correctly. Does also not work for me with \(-+ or
\[-+] or \[u2213] and

I made a mistake with `nroff -Tiso-8859-1'; that's not a valid -T

I need "minus plus" as well as "plus minus".
For plus minus you can also use \[+-].
But \[-+] gives warning, a

Try something like
.char \[-+] \f[S]\v'.1v'\z+\v'-.25v'\-\v'.25v'\v'-.1v'\f[]
The spacing needs more fine-tuning, I don't have time at the moment.

This is good, although it's a bit lower on the

The *symbol* does exist, yes, but the default `S' font doesn't contain
