> We converted everything in Fedora into utf-8 some time ago.

But wait a moment ... what is /etc/sysconfig/i18n for?
Or do you mean that you converted everything to support any locale so long as it
is utf-8?

But the problem isn't with with your conversion ... it is with a silly piece of
code in nroff script which generates an "XXX WARNING:..." which doesn't even go
to stderr.

If you must insist on a warning then why don't you add '1>&2' after the echo?

But I have to say that the nroff conversion is terrible code. For a start it
assumes that all input is utf-8.  Why should it be? If the system is set for
non-utf8 and if the system is designed right then the correct input language
would be specified in each file (or fileystem) wouldn't it?
