Hello, nova% uname -a FreeBSD nova 4.3-STABLE FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE #2: Sun Apr 22 11:26:31 CDT 2001 root@nova:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/NOVA i386 (Note: I've cvsup'd and made buildworld, kernel, and installworld, mergemaster, etc. after I noticed this originally) When I run 'man <command>' from a virtual console (ie. ttyv0), and when groff runs w/ the -Tlatin1 flag [as noticed when running man -d <command>], I get some punctuation errors. It only affects words that are line wrapped, and the hyphen gets replaced w/ a "!". Other hyphens throughout the document don't get changed. Also, this behavior will not happen via a pseudo term like in XFree86. If I run man -o <command>, I don't receive the error. Also, if I explicitly use the localized man file w/ a -Tascii (as in man -o), I don't receive the error. These are my localization vars: LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO_8859-1 LC_ALL=en_US.ISO_8859-1 LANG=en_US.ISO_8859-1 If I copy the output of a 'corrupted' man file from the virt. console into a different file, and then view that file from an X session, the "!" disappear also. I don't recall noticing this before I upgraded. Have anyone else seen this? Is there anything else I can try to troubleshoot? Also, what's a fix for this, and should this be reported as a bug?
