- Note that all \[charXXX] entity names have been removed from the font files.
- They don't make sense for Unicode.
- The following entity from the original troff manual (by Ossanna and
- Kernighan) is unmapped:
- bs shaded solid ball (Bell System logo, AT&T logo)
- Character 0x002D has not been given a name because its Unicode name
- HYPHEN-MINUS is so ambiguous that it is unusable for serious typographic
- use.
- \[wp] has been mapped to 0x2118, because according to Unicode 4.1's
- NamesList.txt, U+2118 SCRIPT CAPITAL P is really a Weierstrass `p',
- neither SCRIPT not CAPITAL.
- The following line could be added; \[space] is known to devps but is not
- documented and not known to devdvi (actually, there is no space glyph within
- the TeX system).
- space 24 0 0x0020
- devps maps \[a~] and `~' to `asciitilde', which is equivalent to 0x02DC, but
- this glyph is just too small. We map them to 0x007E instead.
- devps maps \[a^] and `^' to `circumflex', which is equivalent to 0x02C6, but
- this glyph is just too small. We map them to 0x005E instead.
- devps maps \[*U] to `Upsilon1', which is equivalent to 0x03D2. We map it to
- 0x03A5 instead.
- devps maps \[*W] to `Omega', which is equivalent to either 0x2126 or 0x03A9.
- We map it to 0x03A9.
- devps maps \[*D] to `Delta', which is equivalent to either 0x2206 or 0x0394.
- We map it to 0x0394.
- Adding Unicode characters
- -------------------------
- Assume you want to use a Unicode character not provided in the list, say
- U+20AC. You need to do two things:
- - Add a line
- u20AC 24 0 0x20AC
- (the second column is computed as 24 * wcwidth(0x20AC)) to the file
- R.proto, or, when groff is already installed, to the four fonts files in
- $(prefix)/share/groff/<version>/font/devutf8/.
- - In your source file, use the notation \[u20AC] to access it.
