Dear All,
I try to use the correct abbreviation for the former Czechoslovak
Socialist Republic, which is ČSSR (C + hacek, caron, wedge). The first
attempt (enter Unicode 0x010C directly, leaving everything to
preconv(1), did not work. Then I consulted groff_char(7) but there is no
predefined \[vC

Hi Ingo,
that's interesting. When producing for a UTF8 target, your observation
is correct, but for PDF groff does not seem to function as naively assumed.
When I write U+010C (as a character, or in escape form doesn't matter),
my installation produces an "Ä" (A umlaut).
Try
printf '\xc4\x8cSS

Groff needs to know you have a font which includes a Ccaron glyph, so thi

on my installation (groff 1.22.4) there is no U-TR font out of the box,
and thus I only get these two warnings:
troff: :1: warning: can't find font 'U-TR'

Hi Deri,
I'll try later. I remember Peter's script which I had found during my
very first efforts of learning *roff.
The URW fonts *are* present on my system, have to compile groff once
from source.
Thanks again,
Oliver.

Hi Deri,
I just attempted to follow your advice and compile groff from scratch. I
downloaded 1.22.4 and ran ./configure.
I am a bit confused because ./configure warns me that I do not have URW
fonts, but /usr/share/fonts/urw-base35/ is definitely not empty.
./configure does not respond well when
