If locale is en_US.UTF-8 then manpages do not display '-' as '-', but instad as the hex sequence e2 88 92. You can easily see this by comparing the output of nroff -mandoc /usr/share/man/man1/ls.1 with LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 and undefined. I can understand for text formatting that e2 88 92 may be a 'better' unicode entity for a hyphen, but for a manpage its very much not. Does anyone have any ideas? -- David Brownlee -- [email protected]
