[bug #49887] nroff -D option (in particular, -Dutf8)

[Vladimir Nikishkin]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #49887 (project groff):

Well, essentially, I don't use nroff at all, but the Linux man utility (as
well as many other UNIX man utilities) does.

And since most man pages are in utf8 nowadays, it really is a pain to see
gibberish in the man pages on every freshly installed system.

Perhaps, we could convince the authors of Linux man to use preconv | nroff or
groff -Dutf8, but it may not be so easy for commercial unices.

Or, maybe, -Dutf8 could even be a default option in nroff's call to groff.
