Great, thanks for following up.

The patches aren't separate because I very much disapprove of that kind of scheme for other reasons. This bug tracking system isn't the right place to discuss them (it has been discussed extensively on Debian mailing lists), but basically I only want to use that kind of scheme once it's natively supported such that 'dpkg-source -x' produces the code that's actually compiled without having to apply patches as a separate step.

Thanks, applying Debian patches to groff fixed the issue but it would be really nice if patches were seperate in debian/patches, but oh well thank you for your fast reply and fix.

This page renders correctly for me. Are you using a version of groff with the Debian multibyte patch applied? If not, man can do no better at present; work is progressing in groff upstream to improve the situation.

Attached is a screenshot of man-db 2.5.1 rendering su.1 manpage for Turkish. It fails to render non-ascii characters correctly.

I also tried man --recode=UTF-8 but it still displays the same. I am also attaching the manpage for inspection.

Thanks,
ismail
