This wasn't my problem, it was that of Matijs van Zuijlen. I hope you
don't mind me cc'ing your message back to the list so that he can see
it.
I'm really curious as to how he ended up with ISO-8859-2 output, though,
as the version of groff in Debian doesn't support it and Matijs said he
was using an ISO-10646-1 font.

I can't help you here - maybe somebody else on the list can.
