The following troff string definitions make the Swedish-alphabet
characters that are missing from the standard font.
	\*(aa, \*(AA make 'a' with a ring (sometimes written 'aa')
	\*a, \*A make 'a' with two dots (sometimes written 'ae')
	\*o, \*O make 'o' with two dots (sometimes written 'oe')
	\*e (lower case only) makes 'e' with acute accent
	\*(ov (lower case only) makes 'o' with ^ above it (colloquial)
These have been tested in fonts between 7 and 16 points, and
don't work very well in the italic font.

.ds aa \v'.05m'\h'-.15m'\s+1\z\(de\s-1\v'-.05m'\h'.15m'a
.ds AA \v'-.2m'\h'-.05m'\s+1\z\(de\s-1\v'.2m'\h'.05m'A

Be so good.
