Tar file containing corrected man pages
This bug also occurs on Fedora Core 5 Note that on some (all?) installs there are correctly UTF-8 encoded manual pages installed in the /en/ language specific directory, but they are not used, or at least they aren't used on my system. In response to comment #8, look more closely at the table; the characters displayed may appear correct for iso_8859-1, but not the other man pages. Compare the CHAR column to the DESCRIPTION column on the table for the iso_8859-2.7.gz, for example. 0xA1 is supposed to be a "LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH OGONEK", but it's displayed in CHAR as an "INVERTED EXCLAMATION MARK", at least on my test Fedora Core 5 system. The same issues on the man page for iso_8859-7 (Greek) may be even more obvious. An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information on the solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2006-0647.html |
