What about doing it the naïve way?
File `lcuc' in UTF-8 encoding:
.de UPCASE
. ie '\\$1'ON' \{\
. tr тТоОвВеЕрРхХнНиИйЙгГсС
. tr hHiIsSuUpPeErRcCaA
. \}
. el \{\
. tr ттооввееррххннииййггсс
. tr hhiissuuppeerrccaa
. \}
..
This is normal case
.br
Это нормальный регистр
.br
.UPCASE ON
This is upper case
.br
Это верхний регистр
processed with
groff -k -Tutf8 lcuc > lcuc.txt
yields
This is normal case
Это нормальный регистр
THIS IS UPPER CASE
ЭТО ВЕРХНИЙ РЕГИСТР
Provided you have proper PS fonts, this works with -Tps also.
Am I missing something?
