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, ? -- Eric Jacoboni Ta mère, son mot de passe c'est « toto » !
