Description Watanabe, Yuki 2011-06-13 14:45:38 UTC
Description of problem:
When we are viewing a manpage written in Japanese, characters that are meant to be bold or underlined are not displayed correctly.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
man-db.i686         2.5.9-4.fc15
man-pages.noarch    3.32-8.fc15
man-pages-ja.noarch 20110115-1.fc15

Steps to Reproduce:
$ env LC_ALL=ja_JP.utf8 MANPAGER='less -s' man man
  
Actual results:
Some characters are displayed corruptly where they should be displayed in the bold or underlined style.

Expected results:
Text is displayed properly.

Comment 1 Ivana Varekova 2011-06-14 10:51:37 UTC
This problem is caused by groff
- 1.21-2 (f15) is affected
- 1.20.1-3 (f14) is not affected.
Thus I'm reassigning this bug to groff component.

Comment 2 Daiki Ueno 2011-06-16 05:04:25 UTC
There is a fix in upstream CVS:

http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/groff/groff/src/devices/grotty/tty.cpp?r1=1.23&r2=1.24

Koji scratch build with that patch:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3133889

Reporter, could you test it?
