After some testing done by me and sergej (our Russian TU) we've come to conclusion that nroff (or groff) doesn't work well for Cyrillic UTF-8 characters. See http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/7477#comment24205 But it doesn't seem that new groff and man packages don't make it worse (special NROFF in man.conf was required before anyway). So it's a sign-off from me. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
