[bug #63074] [troff] need a way to embed non-Basic Latin glyphs in device control commands

[G. Branden Robinson]

Follow-up Comment #16, bug #63074 (project groff):

Around comment #4, this bug report took a turn from what was originally
reported to its current state.

> Processing your sample file with the U-TR font in font/devpdf spits out a
few "can't find special character" warnings,

Assuming the messages were specifically of the form:


troff:ATTIC/makhnovshchina.groff:1: warning: special character 'u0413' not
defined


...then this issue arises from a font lacking coverage for a glyph required by
the document.  This came up again this past week on the groff development
list.

> When I process the file with your patch applied, it produces the same result
(missing characters) but adds several more of the unavoidable "can't
transparently output node at top level" warnings.

This issue is different, Deri covered it extensively in comment #11, and it is
now the the focus of this ticket.
