From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130 Description of problem: Now that UTF-8 is the default LANG setting in Red Hat 8.0, the hyphen character that man displays is *not* ascii 45, the character that you can create with your keyboard. So, for example, you're reading "man grep", and you type "/-i" to skip down and see what the -i flag does, you get "Pattern not found". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make sure you're LANG variable is set to en_US.UTF-8 2. man grep 3. search for the -i flag by typing "/-i" Actual Results: "Pattern not found" Expected Results: The pager should skip forward to the next occurance of "-i", telling me what the -i flag does. Additional info: Debian and SuSE work around this by adding the following lines to man.local: .if '\*[.T]'utf8' \{\ . char \- \N'45' . char - \N'45' .\}
