Not sure if that will be an easy task since the source encoding is probably not known.

I am absolutely out of time now, hope to be able to look at it in a week. .. actually I had a look :-) So this is a different package from groff as it seems. http://www.haible.de/bruno/packages-groff-utf8.html Dunnow, but probably trying to integrate UTF-8 support in groff and working with upstream should be doable if that package is working? We in JP land often have problems with Japanese man pages and others and there was a patch floating around (USE=cjk emerge groff) that kind of solves the problem a bit. So, fixing groff is definately a good idea! Any takers? ;-) The last time I looked in the code I couldn't make much out of it :-( Kalin. -- |[ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ]| +-> http://ThinRope.net/ <-+ |[ ______________________ ]| -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
