Hi,
I'm currently working on a french translation of FBSD man pages as
part of the French Docproj and i have a pb with man : i've still not
found how to configure it to display letters with accents.
Say :
% export LANG=fr_FR.ISO_8859-1
% export MANPATH=/home/jaco/Travail/Man
If i do a :
% groff -t -T latin1 -mandoc < btreeop.1 | more
the page is displayed with its accents.
but :
% man btreeop
display without accents.
I know that this latter command runs groff but i've don't find how to
force groff to use latin1 encoding rather than plain ascii.
I've tried also :
% man -t 1 btreeop > btreeop.ps
and, of course, the output file is ok. So, it seems the problem comes
from my ignorance to force groff to use latin1...
('man man' doesn't answer my question, or i need to change my
screen... ;-)
Any pointer, rtfms, ?
