Follow-up Comment #38, bug #63354 (group groff):
[comment #36 comment #36:]
> I still see no way around the first,
Ha, because I'm _still_ overthinking it. Groff offers a shorthand for
\h^\w'0'u^ -- and that is \0. Thus the comment #36 suggestion reduces to:
.fchar \[u2012] \o'-\0'
This also eliminates the need for the conditional for nroff/troff output: this
fallback works in either environment.
(It seems like it shouldn't work in nroff with the overstruck characters
ordered as above: as bug #63028 readers are aware, it is the last character in
an overstruck sequence that nroff outputs. But nroff seems to make an
exception for space characters:
$ echo "\o'abcd'efg" | nroff | cat -s
defg
$ echo "\o'abc\0'efg" | nroff | cat -s
cefg
$ echo "\o'abc\ 'efg" | nroff | cat -s
cefg
I'll add this to the list of things that #63028 should document.)
