Which terminal program do you use? I tried it with gnome-terminal and
kterm, with gnome-terminal I got some gibberish special characters but
with kterm I got something that looked to me (I don't speak Japanese
nor can I read or write it) like Japanese characters.

Please check whether this is the same with you.

Comment 2 Hisaya FUKUMOTO 2004-07-29 13:56:45 UTC
I used gnome-terminal and mlterm.
The gibberish special characters is not Japanese characters.
That's manpage not written by Japanese or misconvert other charset.

Comment 3 Nils Philippsen 2004-07-29 14:24:46 UTC
I don't know about mlterm, but please try whether you can reproduce
the problem in kterm. I am trying to determine whether it's a problem
of the man page or the terminal emulation.

Comment 4 Hisaya FUKUMOTO 2004-07-29 15:05:24 UTC
I tryed with kterm, same as result.
I expand 'system-config-date.8.gz' and open 'system-config-date.8'
with emacs, the manpage was not written by Japanese.

Screenshot of the man page in kterm

Comment 6 Nils Philippsen 2004-07-29 16:42:17 UTC
Please check the screenshot I just attached whether this is readable
for you or not -- it looks like Japanese characters to me, but I'm not
sure ;-).

Comment 7 Hisaya FUKUMOTO 2004-07-29 17:30:49 UTC
The screenshot is same as my result.
I checkout the source code from system-config-date's cvs repository,
and view japanese manpage with emacs.
That's file not written by Japanese.
I guess that misconverted or broken file.

reconverted man page

Comment 9 Nils Philippsen 2004-07-29 20:11:07 UTC
Hi,

I took the old non-UTF-8 man page and converted it again, then
substituted "dateconfig" with "system-config-date". Please check
whether this one displays well.

Comment 10 Hisaya FUKUMOTO 2004-07-30 03:15:55 UTC
I checked the manpage of attachement, it's displayed well.
I guess that the bug#128767 (system-config-kickstart.8) is same problem.

Comment 11 Nils Philippsen 2004-07-30 07:50:21 UTC
Is the information contained up to date? I mean, does it say roughly
the same as the English man page? I wouldn't want to issue an update
if the information in the man page is obsolete.

Comment 12 Hisaya FUKUMOTO 2004-07-30 08:33:56 UTC
It's same contents as the English man page, except program name is
"dateconfig".

replace "dateconfig" to "system-config-date"

Comment 14 Nils Philippsen 2004-08-11 14:50:58 UTC
A fixed package should appear in updates shortly.
