All variables reported by locale are UTF-8. $LANG is also UTF-8. What you are implying is that the man typesetter is incapable of dealing with anything but the C charmap. Using C may solve my problem, but it is a problem that shouldn't be there in the first place. Something is wrong somewhere, which is what I am trying to figure out. Anyone have any thoughts? Is man/groff broken, or is there some locale magic that needs to be invoked before UTF-8 works properly? Peter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
