Package: groff
Version: 1.18.1.1-12
Followup-For: Bug #322760

Has any progress been made on UTF-8 input support for Debian's groff?
The last comment is two years old and the discussion about the Japanese
patch does not seem to be progressing.

Note that the groff package in Fedora does appear to handle UTF-8 input
without problems.  It has a couple of patches applied that you may wish
to check out:

best regards
