Date: Wed, 21 May 2003 15:16:01 +0600 Sender: linux-newbie-owner@vger.kernel.org Message-ID: <1362.1053508561@localhost.localdomain> Return-path: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-newbie@vger.kernel.org Hi, I've noticed this about man pages displayed in an X terminal application such as xterm, etc. --- the dashes (hyphens) and quotation marks don't show up (in xterm), and when they do (in Konsole), it's sporadic --- some show, and others show up as weird-looking characters. I think this is a problem with GNU nroff, which formats the man pages, but I don't know where to go from there. This hasn't been a problem for me until recently, because I've just started copying examples from man pages. I was hoping someone here could give me a couple of pointers.
