Fix expected in groff 1.23.

Thanks for catching this, Bjarni.  I had noticed the substitution of a sans serif (Helvetica?) y-with-dieresis in groff_char(7) but I had thought that was simply because Times didn't have it.

Closing.

[gropdf] fails to deal with 255th glyph in font.
Savannah bug #62294

  • src/devices/gropdf/gropdf.pl: a pdf font can only contain 255

glyphs. The array which holds the glyph names also holds the
start position (zero) as first element, it is legal for it to
contain 256 elements, so truncate to 256 (not 255).

Subject: [gropdf] can't reproduce the 'ydieresis' character

  Test file:

1 \C':y'
2 \(:y
3 \[:y]
4 \[u0079_0308]
5 \[u00FF]
6 \[char255]
7 \N'255'

  Command:

test-groff -Tpdf <file>

  Output with "xpdf":

1  2  3  4  5  6  7


  Saw the lack of glyph 'ΓΏ' in "groff-man-pages.pdf".
