I'm surprized. I was expecting other reactions, but I got no more messages after this on this thread. >From the tone of your message, I imagine that you were "expecting" man not to display japanese characters. I think it was quite the contrary, at least with mna and groff in unstable. I had report that both worked for japanese and other asian languages. Can somebody confirm this? Is there a problem with japanization of groff-1.16 ? On the other side, groff upstream maintainer is not willing to accept our patches for japanese (he also refused patches for east-europe languages) as he wants to be done differently, and probably in a better way. but this effort will make more and more difficult to maintain our japanization while upstream groff changes more and more. What to do? any idea? Amybe the best would be to join him to help in his effort, and get a new 16 bit clean groff! fab -- | [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] | pgp: 6F7267F5 57 16 C4 ED C9 86 40 7B 1A 69 A1 66 EC FB D2 5E | [EMAIL PROTECTED] gsm: +358 (0)40 707 2468
