Re: [Groff] Installing Russian Type-1 Fonts

Just as I thought I have finished the patch, I found
out I was wrong about the following piece:

Looks like I was wrong here. .hcode allows to assign
hyphenation  codes  directly  to character entities.
Futhermore, it seems to be  working  on  glyph  name
level,  because  its  odd  parameter can be just any
string. Only if no hyphenation character is assigned
to a glyph, will groff try to convert it back to the
original input character and look  for  the  hyphen-
ation code of the latter.

Therefore,  the  input  character mapping file (like
koi8-r.tmac) is not necessary for UTF-8 input.  Just
set hyphenation codes directly:

    .hcode  x
