Re: Greek in Groff

[Bjarni Ingi Gislason]

  Thanks.

  Some remarks.

1) All input files should have the same encoding or an including
(higher order) one

2) 'groff' can only deal with 'ascii' and 'latin1' encodings
itself

3) therefor all other encodings must be converted to ascii (7
bit encoding) with 'preconv', for example with the option '-K
<encoding>' for 'groff' or explicitly with 'preconv -e '<encoding>'
<raw file> > <file>

4) in your example

preconv -e iso88597 doc.ref > <file.7bit>

  or to simplify

mv doc.ref > raw.doc.ref (or doc.ref.raw, etc.)

preconv -e iso88597 raw.doc.ref > doc.ref

  and the rest as usual.

  So the 'doc.ref' file becomes

.lf 1 raw.doc.ref
