Fully ACK vbi@altfrangg:~$ cat ~/bin/man PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin LC_CTYPE=de_CH `basename "$0"` "$@" vbi@altfrangg:~$ this is my standard wrapper for quite a few programs which can't deal with unicde. In particular this is man, many gtk1/gnome1 programs, xawtv But in general, things tend to work reasonably well, and get ever better. The man (really: groff) issue is known, but AFAICT the fix is really, really difficult since groff just doesn't know anything about encodings, and the man page sources are in a variety of encodings. groff 2 is supposed to fix these problems, but I've got no idea when it is supposed to come. cheers -- vbi -- featured link: http://fortytwo.ch/gpg/subkeys
