I'd like to know what still needs to be done to update Debian's groff to a version with native UTF-8 support. If kinsoku shori handling needs to be implemented, I'm willing to give it a go if someone can provide me with some testcases and a reference to an algorithm[0].
I might be wrong, but shouldn't groff implement width handling already? This should be possible with the description files. If not, I'm willing to try to implement that, too, given an algorithm. I would also need to know what version we should update to (so I know what version to base my changes on). 1.19.2 is an improvement, but doesn't have support for UTF-8 input, which is a feature I'd personally really like and would obviously fit well with UTF-8 by default. CVS HEAD has UTF-8 input, which might help with CJK support as well.
