It's necessary to convert it into UTF-8. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): w3m-0.5-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.export LAN=ja_JP.UTF-8 2.man 1 w3m 3. Additional info:
Fixed in 0.5.1-3. pending for FC2 updates.
FC2-updates for w3m still does not exist.
Bruno Haible claims that glibc would do this translation. Does Fedora use a reduced set of runtime translations?
er, since the manpage doesn't have any tags to determine which encoding is used, glibc shouldn't be able to do anything. instead, we have the hacked man and groff to detect the encoding - if the manpage is using non-UTF-8 encoding, it also shows the warning message on the top of manpage.
oops - sorry. I was looking at a comment about message files in a different window and responded to the wrong one.
fixed in 0.5.1-3.1 for FC2-updates
