Re: Two questons: Norwgegian characters and space when switching typeface

[Dale Snell]

For the Norwegian characters, you'll need to use constructions like "\[o/]"
and "\[ae]".  Forgive me, I'm away from my computer right now, and I can't
remember how to specify the "a-with-ring" character.  Read the man page for
groff_char(7); that has the whole list of special characters.  Oh, and you
may need to use the URW++ font files.  Those are the ones that start with
"U-".  Those fonts have more characters than the regular files.

As for the unwanted space character, try the following:

There should
.I not\c
be a space after not.

Hope this helps.
