Description:   Opened: 2006-03-15 15:48 0000 
I cannot see chinese character when i change to UTF-8 according to the official
gentoo documents.

Here is the solution, but i hope anyone can port it into portage system:

$ wget http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2005-07/bineYgga7Cm9p.bin -O
groff-utf8.tar.gz
$ tar zxf groff-utf8.tar.gz
$ cd groff-utf8
$ sudo make install PREFIX=/usr/local

# cat /etc/man.conf wrote:

TROFF /usr/local/bin/groff-utf8 -Tutf8 -mandoc
NROFF /usr/local/bin/groff-utf8 -Tutf8 -mandoc

No. the current version of groff does not support CJK utf-8.

by "current version" do you mean 1.19.2 or current cvs head ?

either way, groff 1.18.x is still in portage for cjk users

if you want newer versions fixed, get it integrated upstream

I am sorry to make a noise here. Now groff-1.18.x is out of portage tree, and
what can we do now? Using groff-utf8. I remembered that 1.18.x keeps working in
CJK environment, but 1.19.x doesn't not.

------- Comment #12 From SpanKY 2008-10-26 06:09:46 0000 ------- 
looks to me like cjk support is in 1.19.x.  if it isnt working for you, file a
new bug so the cjk team can look at it.

I have a similar problem with dnsmasq man (8) page where accented characters
didn't look right. I took a look at the compressed file
/usr/share/man/fr/man8/dnsmasq.8.bz2 and it turned up the compressed text file
was UTF-8. I then uncompressed it, recode it to iso8859-1 and re-packed it. The
problem is now fixed. Should I file a bug to the maintainers of dnsmasq
accordingly?
