Subject: [9fans] No output with troff \N'nnn'
Date: Mon, 28 Jun 2004 11:17:13 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1763af52ff763a9730cdca60f77ae5a3@comcast.net> (raw)

When I try to produce a character using \N'nnn' and run the
file through troff | aux/tr2post >cthefile.ps, I don't get
any character output. I have looked at the output of troff
itself, and it is producing Nnnn, so I went to tr2post.
I see this in conv.c

	case 'N':	/* print character with numeric value from current font */
			Bgetfield(Bp, 'd', &n, 0);
			break;

Is there something missing there? Like some command to actually
output the character? Or am I simply barking up the wrong 
tree here.

I can continue to look, but I thought the solution might
be obvious to one of you.

Thanks.

Greg
