>Description:
Today I changed my LANG environment from de_DE.ISO8859-1 to
de_DE.UTF-8. Among other annoyances, due to contributed software,
I found that the display of man pages is cluttered by "less".
I don't suspect that this behaviour is restricted to -current.
>How-To-Repeat:
I append the the first lines of the preprocessed manpage for man.
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 head test.tmp | more
displays
man [-adfhkotw] [-achine] [-p string] [-M path] [-P pager] [-S list]
instead of
man [-adfhkotw] [-m machine] [-p string] [-M path] [-P pager] [-S list]
>Fix:
I have no idea, where the problems comes from. Man pages are composed
from characters in the range 1-127.
test.tmp:
MAN(1) FreeBSD General Commands Manual MAN(1)
