Deri,
I'm very sad to see your departure. This list and the groff project
will sorely miss your knowledge, expertise, and coding skills. I hope
you find a way to return soon.
Hi Branden,
It is with a heavy heart that I announce I shall be leaving the groff mailing
list, I'm finding it too much work. Yesterday, you managed over 2900 words in
approx 80 minutes whilst also doing a code review, and probably 3 other things
as well! I am so jealous my paltry sub 10 words

Hi Deri,
One more thing occurred to me, because your last paragraph was sticking
in my mind and I think I figured out why.

I generally don't feel I grasp code of nontrivial complexity until I've
documented it and written

Hi Deri,
Now _does_ seem to be a good time to catch up on gropdf-ng merge status.
There were two things I knew were still unmerged: the slanted symbol
(SS) font support and the stringhex business, which has larger
consequences than I understood at first.

Regarding cyrillic characters in PDF outlines, I think I got a few
insights today.
It turns out that the pdfmarks in the postscript code are "text strings"
according to the PDF specs, that is either a PDFDocEncoding or
UTF-16BE with a leading byte-order marker (cf. PDF Reference 1.7).

Hello Peter,
I am also now stumbling across Cyrillc-related issues with pdfmark. I am using
ms for the time being. The bug also affects autogenerating link texts given via
`.pdfhref L`.
In the most simple case, preconv will turn your Cyrillic characters into escapes
which are apparently not

Dear Peter, Dear All,
this problem is presumably not limited to groff. I remember the same
issue when I was building LaTeX texts with foreign language elements (in
my case, among others: Chinese) with the package to create internal
links from (hyperref, iirc) table of contents to chapters,etc.

Greetings, all.
Source documents written in Cyrillic and processed with mom/pdfmom
break the PDF outline:
1. The text of titles and headings is not displayed in the outline.
2. If there are items where English is automatically part of the
outline label (cover, title page), the label prints
