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'
.\}
