This is really funny. Look at http://fortytwo.ch/~avbidder/man-page.png. But when I copy-paste into kmail, it comes right, with all '-' (both hyphens and minus) - exactly as if I start man with LC_CTYPE=de_CH (as I usually do it). Also, this doesn't happen with all manpages. What I don't really get: I use the same font for almost everything (lucidatypewriter), definitely so for the mail composer and the konsole. So while the fact that copy-pasting it 'solves' the problem hints at a font problem, I copy and paste between windows that use the same font... confused greetings -- vbi (for another unicode issue: http://fortytwo.ch/~avbidder/konsole-unicode-bug.png) -- Could this mail be a fake?
