Fixing in 4.0.3-13. Is there a systematic way of doing this sort of thing which is preferred over one-off solutions like the one used this time? Well, actually all manpages should has any information what encoding it is using. e.g. .encoding UTF-8. and basically groff should converts it according to that and current locale. but no such rules right now. so what we can do now is just using iconv or something. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; ja-JP; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030303 Description of problem: Since we have decided to use UTF-8 locale, we can't look at EUC-JP manpages. so basically it needs to be converted to UTF-8. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 man 5 shadow 2. 3. Actual Results: more warnings are output, and manpages is not readable. Expected Results: no warnings and readable. Additional info: I'm refiling this due to bugzilla issue.
