My mistake its not preconv it is groff itself:-
+verbatim+
[derij@pip build (master)]$ echo "Ηι Δερι"|test-groff -Tpdf -Z -k -F /usr/

If text.map is altered so that it no longer includes greek maths symbols, the
greek letters in TINOR would all have uXXXX names when afmtodit is run. But
groff changes preconv's \[uXXXX] input to greek symbol names. All the "C*?"
calls should be "Cu03XX" calls, groff should only output C*? if the input was
\[*?], i.e. either eqn wants the maths symbol or the user has specifically
typed \[*?] because he wants it.
For the benefit of our greek users, who this change will affect, it would be
nice to include a sed script (in NEWS?) which patches any font they have
installed themselves, or perhaps a recommendation they re-run afmtodit on any
self installed fonts.
