Summary: document nroff \o limitations in modern terminal emulators Project: GNU troff Submitter: barx Submitted: Wed 07 Sep 2022 11:32:56 AM CDT Category: Device - others/general Severity: 1 - Wish Item Group: Documentation Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Planned Release: None _______________________________________________________ Follow-up Comments: ------------------------------------------------------- Date: Wed 07 Sep 2022 11:32:56 AM CDT By: Dave <barx> Bug #62983 has been Postponed, but in the meantime, the documentation could be updated to warn nroff users that (1) few (no?) modern terminal emulators support overstruck characters, and (2) if they must use \o, they should think about the order in which they specify the characters, as only the last one is likely to end up visible. (And maybe (3) that if they want to use \o for accented characters, there are more robust ways to achieve that.) _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?63028> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
