I'm not sure I understand the problem, but in X, try:

   LOCALE=utf-8 xman -notopbox -bothshown

I have that in ~/.fluxbox/fluxbox-menu:

   [exec] (Xman) {LOCALE=utf-8 xman -notopbox -bothshown} <>

and it displays manpages with no flaws so far that I've seen (and I
have seen the flaws you mention at CLI man blah).  GL.
