Here's something I haven't encountered before. Have a look at the attached files. ps output was produced with
groff -k file > file.ps chats_1 contains a single accented glyph (î). The glyph is mangled in the ps output. chats_2 contains the same glyph plus an additional one (é). Here, neither glyph is mangled in the output. The same oddity occurs with the pdf driver and with -Tutf8. Even more peculiar is that the introduction of *any* accented glyph into the source file (in addition to the originally mangled glyph), even one commented out at the end of the file, fixes the problem with the initial mangled glyph. Try adding .\"ô or similar to the end of chats_1 and processing it to see what I mean. I'm not sure if this is new behaviour because I can't recall ever creating a document with only one accented glyph. Ideas, anyone? -- Peter Schaffter https://www.schaffter.ca
