Doing "man fc-cache" in a Fedora Core release 1.91 (FC2) results in :
XXX
XXX WARNING: old character encoding and/or character set
XXX
<snip> --- the rest of the manpage of "fc-cache" --- <snip>
Relevant packages in Fedora Core release 1.91 (FC2) :
- "fontconfig-2.2.1-8.1"
- "man-1.5m2-3"
This bug appears to caused by some encoding errors in the manpages of
the fontconfig package and might be 'fixed' by using a newer version
of the man package.
It seems the encoding errors are still present in the new fontconfig
package but the newer "man" command seems to use a workaround.
Fixed in 2.2.3-1 * Tue Aug 3 2004 Owen Taylor <otaylor> - 2.2.3-1 - Convert man pages to UTF-8 (#108730, Peter van Egdom) |
