What do you have them set to?  I have "LANG=en_US.UTF-8; export LANG"
(in .profile) with the following in locale.gen: "en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8".  As
some man pages contain stuff that do not render right, I often do:
LANG=C man ...


/Allan

I don't have a ~/.profile, just /etc/profile.
And that doesn't have anything for LANG.
In fact, when I 'echo $LANG' I get..  nothing.
