Man not presenting the "-" character properly - charmap issue??
Hi all,
Many of my man pages have problems with the character "-". Sometimes the
character is shown correctly. Other times I get a box or more. I use UTF8
on my sid system.
$locale charmap
UTF-8
For example, "map cp":
...
> cp - copy files and directories
>
> SYNOPSIS
> cp [OPTION]... SOURCE DEST
> cp [OPTION]... SOURCE... DIRECTORY
> cp [OPTION]... �[24m�[24mtarget�[24mdirectory=DIRECTORY SOURCE...
The dash in front of "copy files and directories" is OK, but not the later
ones.
Any idea what gives?
Thanks,
Peter
