Description of Problem:

After installing packages 'man-pages-pl' and 'man-pages-ru'  I tried few
experiments. With pages which actually exist in a given language version
and using commands like

( env LANG=pl_PL man sort )
( env LANG=ru_RU man cp )

I got results which ranged between mangled and ridiculously unreadable.
OTOH correcting that to:

( env LANG=pl_PL man sort | iconv -f latin2  | less -isr)
( env LANG=ru_RU man cp | iconv -f koi8  | less -isr)

I got on a console what was actually expected.  Does this has anything to
do with options to nroff (see #72598)?

Curiously enough '( env LANG=pl_PL man sort | iconv -f latin2  | less -isr)'
displays correctly also in a gnome-terminal window where without 'iconv'
an output is garbled in not a very funny way.  No such luck there with Russian
version which is beyond anything even remotely readable even when "Russian"
session is started.  I guess that the later is caused by fonts which miss
pieces in a required encoding but current way of doing things makes this
information unavailable and a setup extremely confusing.
