[bug #55155] .tr is overzealous in nroff output

[Dave]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #55155 (project groff):

The example command in comment #2 produces the given output only if nroff
detects that the user has an ASCII or Latin-1 environment.  To generalize the
example to work in any non-EBCDIC terminal, give nroff an explicit -T option:


$ printf         'A \[if] B\n' | nroff -Tascii | head -1 
A <infinity> B
$ printf '.tr n-\nA \[if] B\n' | nroff -Tascii | head -1 
A <i-fi-ity> B
