That would be correct. But his output looks like he already gets UTF-8 out of "man". He just borked his terminal settings or is running a non-Unicode terminal. Otherwise, there would just be one glyph for an unrecognized code sequence, plus probably the following char being eaten. So to the OP: Configure your terminal accordingly (for console: set consoletrans and -font correctly) or if you didn't yet, install a unicode-aware terminal program. -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
