[Groff] FW: the groff blues -- kinda

[Ted Harding]

Hi Folks,

The following was just posted to address@hidden

I don't recall seeing this problem come up on the groff list,
and I don't get it myself with groff 1.16.1. Does anyone know
anything about it?

Ted.

Howdy,

Few words current state of groff

 o the groff*-1.16.1-7 with Red Hat 7.1 is broken
   with at least any language requiring two
   adjacent letters of a-umlaut and o-umlaut.

   Words like "kääntyä" ("to turn" or "to compile" in 
   finnish) generate errors and drop letters from
   output. Didn't find a way around it with using
   macros or string replacement .ds

 o the current GNU release 1.17.2 does not suffer
   from the problem.
[the rest snipped]
