*** Bug 91690 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I can reproduce the bug with man -P '/usr/bin/less -isr' rpm (this -P parameter corresponds to the default way less is invoked by man), but not with man -P '/usr/bin/less -is' rpm or with man -P '/usr/bin/less -isR' rpm The -r was added due to bug 11621, but it is IMHO the wrong way to fix the original problem; nowadays, 'less' in fact initializes its charset tables correctly from locale data, even without LESSCHARSET. The upstream man's configure tells this: # # Some people prefer "-irs", but probably only when they have a broken setup. # (Indeed, -r may cause the terminal to get into funny states. # Very inconvenient. For viewing pages in strange locales, set LC_*.) # DEFAULTLESSOPT="-is" 1.5m2 changes the man output device to -Tutf8 and sets LESSCHARSET to supported utf-8. "-r" is no longer included in the less options. Works with latest rawhide release |
