Redirect the man page output into a file and look at the content with a good editor or "hd" and you'll see that a bold "a", for example, is nothing more than "a", "backspace (ctrl-H)", "a" (it used to make the print head hit twice at the same spot, of course). Maybe your terminal emulators aren't getting even the simple stuff right, but I'm guessing they're having some kind of font problem unrelated to "man" or other sources of the terminal emulator input. I doubt it's a FreeBSD man page that you need to read first. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
