Man converts the input to the desired output encoding, namely nl_langinfo(CODESET). This conversion to utf8 can be regarded as groff internal, uninteresting for the outside world. >> G4) Add checks that abort with an error message if the encodings >> specified in .IE and -e disagree. An abort is probably counterproductive. Someone asking for a man page wants help, not an error message enlarging his amount of trouble. Quite possibly he would be unable to fix the problem. A warning should be good enough. The command line -e should override. Andries -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
