Package: emacs22
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
`man' command defined in man.el is a nice wrapper of `man' executable.
I frequently use it to see manual pages, but, am inconvenienced that
highlighting in Japanese manual pages does not work.
I and Japanese Debian users have just found the reason of this problem.
`man' executable calls `col' executable internally when printing manual
pages into standart-output, and more, `col' executable removes all
highlighting information.
I believe that the following setting resolves the described problem and
has no ill-effects to other environments.
(setq Man-switches "-Tutf8")
(defadvice Man-getpage-in-background
(around debian-manpage-force-utf8 activate compile)
(let ((locale-coding-system 'utf-8))
ad-do-it))
Could you consider adding the above setting to standard emacs22 package?
Regards,
