[bug #66133] [mom] pdfmom: missing 8-bit characters with and without '-K utf8'

[Deri James]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #66133 (group groff):

Hi Bjarni,

I assume you are using the latest git which includes Peter's changes, with
them I can't duplicate the issue. Of course, feeding a UTF-8 encoded document
to groff without using preconv is likely to cause issues, because groff reads
everything as 8 bit characters. Using -Kutf8 I can't see any missing
characters in the document.

If you add -T ps to the pdfmom command (so that it calls pdfroff) you should
still see a valid result, but there will be errors reported because Branden
has turned an error back on which was suppressed for 1.23.0. Error is a bit of
a misnomer since the thing it says it cannot do - it does! Before 1.23.0 users
were advised to ignore them. More info can be found here:-

Where Branden says "(Or maybe it _is_ happening, and the diagnostic is wholly
spurious and needs killin'.  I'll check.)" so it looks like it will disappear
again, since it is spurious.
