Not in every case of course - only when they really mean dashes and
not hyphens.

Yes, I know.

I'm running with an UTF-8 locale and this causes minus signs (dashes)
in many manual pages to become garbled. It only seems to happen in
text in the "italic" style, i.e. the ".I" macro. It also only happens
to bare minus signs; if they are written as "\-", it works fine. Try,
for example, "man jed"
