Description of problem: 2 problems of man was observed. First, man can not output correct text in 8bit locale such as ru_RU.KOI8-R. If use troff with -Tnippon (in this locale) the input stream is broken, but all formatting is correct (all russian symbols are changed by sequence '& '). Second, in the ru_RU.UTF-8 locale man pages have incorect width and white space position. For example, type in ru_RU.UTF-8 following command: man zic in 80x24 terminal window you can see only half fill of it. like this: (russian word DESCRIPTION) Zic word1 word2 word3 ... _CLEAN SPACE_ wordn, ... _CLEAN SPACE_ where _CLEAN SPACE_ is equal to approx. 30symbols Another bug is incorrect calculation of white spaces. Take above example and see this man page like this Zic word1 word2 word3 word4_first_part word_4_last_part word5 ... wordn ... where word4_first_part + word4_last_part equal to whole word. For example, 'word' is broke as 'wo' + 'rd' on different lines. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): man-1.5k-6 from rawhide groff-1.18.1-20 from rawhide
