https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=205089 ------- Comment #2 from andreas.hanke@gmx-topmail.de 2006-09-14 09:08 MST ------- Recoding it to utf-8 will fix the problem for konqueror and break it for /usr/bin/man. groff named characters should be used to describe the umlauts. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=205089 ------- Comment #3 from andreas.hanke@gmx-topmail.de 2006-09-14 13:55 MST ------- Comment 2 might be wrong, the machinery behind /usr/bin/man seems to be fixed by now to work with UTF-8 man pages. Related: Bug 144726 But the "right" character set for man pages is still the legacy one, i.e. ISO-8859-1 for German, really! Not displaying it correctly is more likely a KDE bug rather than a bug in the rug man page. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=205089 ------- Comment #5 from mfabian@novell.com 2006-12-07 04:56 MST ------- No, man can currently not handle man-pages in UTF-8 encoding. The input encoding in groff is currently limited to a few legacy encodings only (the output encoding of groff can be UTF-8, but not the input encoding). In future this will change, the groff developers are working on better UTF-8 support for groff, in future groff will also accept UTF-8 input. But unfortunately not yet. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Recoding it to utf8 Christoph Thiel> should fix the problem. Please don't do that now because groff still doesn't support UTF-8 as an input encoding. Hopefully this will change in future, then we should convert all man-page sources to UTF-8.
