the languages/encodings there correlate with any of your test results,
Ken?
For sure the patch is detected:
{{{
checking for groff... groff
checking for appropriate groff options... -mandoc
checking for groff with Debian multibyte patch... yes
}}}
but I don't really see the tie-up between my test results and that table,
nor how/why I got the differences between a tty and urxvt. When I saw
that the shipped pages seemed to be UTF-8, I wondered if that file was out
of date, or ineffective because something else took precedence.
I say 'seemed to be UTF-8' because file only admitted some were UTF-8, and
vim/view seems to go out of its way to render non-UTF-8, and to sometimes
render UTF-8 as two characters on my setup.
