After moved from Cygwin 1.5 to Cygwin 1.7, the '-' char in switch/option in man page is not displayed.
As Cygwin 1.7 have revised to 1.7.5 and cygwin-doc-1.7 is released and this problem still exists, so I decide to figure it out. I have a previous post "Cygwin 1.7: Empty/white-space output when display Chinese characters in GBK charset encoding?" here http://old.nabble.com/Cygwin-1.7%3A-Empty-white-space-output-when-display-Chinese-characters-in-GBK-charset-encoding--ts26774467.html, It seems this problem is similar to that one, because if i set LANG=C.GBK, '-' char will displayed well. But Cygwin 1.7 select UTF-8 as default encoding, is it 'man' does not follow this default encoding? please see the screenshot from old.nabble.com: http://old.nabble.com/file/p28287625/cygwin-1.7-LANG%253DC.UTF-8-man.png cygwin-1.7-LANG%3DC.UTF-8-man.png -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Cygwin-1.7-man%3A-%27-%27-char-in-option-switch-in-man-page-is-not-displayed-not-encoded-well-if-LANG%3DC.UTF-8-tp28287625p28287625.html Sent from the Cygwin list mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
