[bug #58165] test-suite: "nroff -V ..." fails for other devices than "ascii"

[Bjarni Ingi Gislason]

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #58165 (project groff):

1) My sentence can be interpreted in two ways,

more clearly:

I added the line

unset LESSCHARSET

to the script, as nroff checked for that case.

  my environment has the variable defined with

LESSCHARSET=latin1
 
2) Add the line

export GROFF_TYPESETTER=ascii

to override a possible default value.

2) The test script contains the line

export LC_ALL=C

   so a natural test is to check, how that affects the working of the
"nroff" script, in this case of "locale charmap".
 
  The available locales on my computer are:

locale -a

C
C.UTF-8
icelandic
is_IS
is_IS.iso88591
is_IS.utf8
POSIX

  I think the C locale is standard in GNU systems and thus always
available.

git version 2.25.1 (Debian testing)
 
  The "nroff.sh" and "nroff.am" scripts have not been changed by me,
but I create a "test-nroff" from them with a "test-nroff.am" file, which
is based on the "nroff.am" file.
