Description of problem: Man pages encoded in unicode are rendered wrong, some funny characters are displayed instead of ones that are encoded with two bytes. I am running rawhide yelp under fc6 (it was pulled when I installed firefox 2.0). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yelp-2.16.2-1.fc7 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install man-pages-pl 2. LANG=pl_PL.utf-8 yelp 3. Strony podrędznika -> Aplikacje -> bzip2 Actual results: Dual-byte characters are busted Expected results: Man page should be displayed properly Additional info: Both man and khelpcenter have no troubles rendering the man page.
Bump. I am attaching the screenshots to ensure the problem is understood. yelp 2.18.0 still suffers from this issue.
Created attachment 149986 [details] man screenshot, works OK
Created attachment 149987 [details] Yelp screenshot, displays garbage characters
Bump. Still present in yelp-2.18.1-5.fc7.x86_64.
Is anybody going to look into it? Either fix it, or stop shipping utf-8 manpages. I mean, honestly. I'd prefer to read an english manpage than trying to understand this babble.
Moving this upstream. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=473040
