Follow-up Comment #3, bug #67252 (group groff): [comment #2 comment #2:] > nroff unconditionally loads the tty-char.tmac file, which contains the > fallbacks that are causing the problems. Running "groff", even with a -T > option that invokes grotty, does not.
I think I've said this before in another ticket, but I think the difficulty
you just experienced is an argument in favor of:
1. merging the "tty-char.tmac" file's fallbacks into "fallback.tmac";
2. making the ones that change the character count of in the input character
conditional, predicated on a Boolean-valued `tty*use-semantic-fallbacks` or a
similarly named register; and
3. getting GNU _nroff_ out of the business of loading macro files.
