Package: groff
Version: 1.18.1.1-12
Severity: normal
I am afraid that while Debian (perhaps GNU/Linux in general?) presents itself
as fully utf8 capable, it is only meant to say something about a fully
loaded graphical desktop, nothing about the console. This bug is one
instance; the completely broken console-tools initscript, which I am
not reporting because I don't know where to start, another.
To repeat:
apt-get install fonty-rg
/usr/bin/utf8
zcat /usr/share/man/man1/utf8.1.gz
zcat /usr/share/man/man1/utf8.1.gz | groff -mandoc -T utf8
See the difference?

brian> it displays properly. Is this sufficient for your needs?
I guess it would be, though I don't use the fonty-rg package anymore and
so I can't test exactly the same command. I'm OK with closing this bug
with the new upload.
