 Posted: Thu Nov 10, 2005 8:51 pm Post subject: [MAN PAGE] strange characters in manual pages |
 |
|
when I use man I have hexadecimal number instead of real character, the character encoding can be iso_8859_15
or utf8, there are no change:
man iso_8859_15
| Code: | ISO 8859-15 Characters
The following table displays the characters in ISO 8859-15 (Latin-9), which are
printable and unlisted in the ascii(7) manual page. The fourth column will only
show the proper glyphs in an environment configured for ISO 8859-15.

cat /etc/conf.d/consolefont
| Code: | # /etc/conf.d/consolefont
# CONSOLEFONT specifies the default font that you'd like Linux to use on the
# console. You can find a good selection of fonts in /usr/share/consolefonts;
# you shouldn't specify the trailing ".psf.gz", just the font name below.
# To use the default console font, comment out the CONSOLEFONT setting below.

# not want to use it, run "rc-update del consolefont" as root).

the file man.conf
| Code: |
cat /etc/man.conf
#
# Generated automatically from man.conf.in by the
# configure script.
#
# man.conf from man-1.6
#
# For more information about this file, see the man pages man(1)
# and man.conf(5).
#
# This file is read by man to configure the default manpath (also used
# when MANPATH contains an empty substring), to find out where the cat
# pages corresponding to given man pages should be stored,
# and to map each PATH element to a manpath element.
# It may also record the pathname of the man binary. [This is unused.]
# The format is:
#
# MANBIN pathname
# MANPATH manpath_element [corresponding_catdir]
# MANPATH_MAP path_element manpath_element
#
# If no catdir is given, it is assumed to be equal to the mandir
# (so that this dir has both man1 etc. and cat1 etc. subdirs).
# This is the traditional Unix setup.
# Certain versions of the FSSTND recommend putting formatted versions
# of /usr/.../man/manx/page.x into /var/catman/.../catx/page.x.
# The keyword FSSTND will cause this behaviour.
# Certain versions of the FHS recommend putting formatted versions of
# /usr/.../share/man/[locale/]manx/page.x into
# /var/cache/man/.../[locale/]catx/page.x.
# The keyword FHS will cause this behaviour (and overrides FSSTND).
# Explicitly given catdirs override.

#
# This file is also read by man in order to find how to call nroff, less, etc.,
# and to determine the correspondence between extensions and decompressors.

# Every automatically generated MANPATH includes these fields
#
MANPATH /usr/share/man
MANPATH /usr/local/share/man

#
# Uncomment if you want to include one of these by default
#
# MANPATH /opt/*/man
# MANPATH /usr/lib/*/man
# MANPATH /usr/share/*/man
# MANPATH /usr/kerberos/man
#
# Set up PATH to MANPATH mapping
#
# If people ask for "man foo" and have "/dir/bin/foo" in their PATH
# and the docs are found in "/dir/man", then no mapping is required.
#
# The below mappings are superfluous when the right hand side is
# in the mandatory manpath already, but will keep man from statting
# lots of other nearby files and directories.

# NOAUTOPATH keeps man from automatically adding directories that look like

# NROFF is defined as "groff -Tascii" or "groff -Tlatin1";
# not only is it superfluous, but it actually damages the output.
# For use with utf-8, NROFF should be "nroff -mandoc" without -T option.
# (Maybe - but today I need -Tlatin1 to prevent double conversion to utf8.)
#
# If you have a new troff (version 1.18.1?) and its colored output
# causes problems, add the -c option to TROFF, NROFF, JNROFF.

it is not critical but it will be better solved.

hi
Maybe you need to adjust the /etc/make.conf
LINGUAS
setting. If you want French, I think you can add a line like
in there.
This is just a guess, but I remember that LINGUAS is used to localize man pages, and a few other things.
Once you have changed LINGUAS, you may need to re-emerge some pieces of KDE or i18n apps.
Good luck.

maybe the problem is the encoding in utf8 but I have another computer encoded in UTF8 and no problem.
