Hi Jean, The first piece of this patch is erroneous. 4-5 years ago I didn't clearly understand the difference between "special" fonts and non-special fonts in *roff. Now I do. The u-with-umlaut character is "regular", or from a "text font", meaning it may have different styles available (bold, oblique/italic, bold-italic), unlike, say, the square root sign.
The correct groff request to define a fallback for a missing \[:u] special character escape sequence is therefore. .fchar \\[:u] ue (For others reading, and posterity: normally, the backslash would not be doubled, but quilt.1.in undergoes extra processing to produce quilt.1.) I will add that, in my opinion, recent versions of the groff_char(7) man page describe these matters much more clearly.[1] Regards, Branden [1] https://www.dropbox.com/sh/17ftu3z31couf07/AAC_9kq0ZA-Ra2ZhmZFWlLuva?dl=0 At 2022-07-26T14:43:24+0200, Jean Delvare wrote: > --- quilt.orig/doc/quilt.1.in 2022-07-06 09:47:39.094273219 +0200 > +++ quilt/doc/quilt.1.in 2022-07-06 10:27:42.523006977 +0200 > @@ -474,10 +474,11 @@ QUILT_COLORS='diff_hdr=35;44' > .EE > . > .SH AUTHORS > +.schar \\[:u] ue > .I Quilt > started as a series of scripts written by Andrew Morton > .RI ( patch\\-scripts ). > -Based on Andrew's ideas, Andreas Gruenbacher completely rewrote the > +Based on Andrew's ideas, Andreas Gr\\[:u]nbacher completely rewrote the > scripts, with the help of several other contributors (see the file > .I AUTHORS > in the distribution). >
