I'll try to reproduce the problem with Korean manpages installed. Okay, hmm... weird. $ LANG=ko_KR.UTF-8 man git-ls-files | wc iconv: 1484 �ġ�� �߸�� �Է� ���� ��� 45 133 1484 $ LANG=ko_KR.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8 man git-ls-files | wc 192 803 7111 $ LANG=en_US.UTF-8 man git-ls-files | wc 192 803 7111 $ LANG=ko_KR.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8 man 1 man | wc 599 4032 35518 git-ls-files doesn't have Korean translation and weirdly setting LC_MESSAGES explicitly avoids iconv failure. -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=470921 User mfabian@novell.com added comment https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=470921#c6 --- Comment #6 from Mike Fabian <mfabian@novell.com> 2009-02-02 10:27:28 MST --- Doesn't seem to be easy to fix. For the man-page reported here, I can workaround the problem by testing whether the input is ASCII only and then use ICONV="iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8" instead of converting from EUC-KR. The source of the English man-page of "man" is ASCII only, it contains: Description@Octal@latin1@ascii _ continuation hyphen@255@\*[softhyphen]@- i.e. the Latin1 character is created from the groff macro \*[softhyphen] because the -Tlatin1 device is used for Korean in /usr/bin/nroff. But this doesn't work for man-pages like /usr/share/man/man7/iso_8859-1.7.gz which already contain Latin1 characters because I cannot distinguish Latin1 from EUC-KR with a simple iconv test. The only workaround I can think of at the moment is to use the above ICONV="iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8" for the man-pages where the input is purely ASCII and ICONV="iconv -c -f EUC-KR -t UTF-8" for the man-pages which are not. The "-c" will throw away all characters it cannot convert. For Korean man-pages this should not throw away anything at all because the Korean man-pages (currently) most likely contain only charaters which are either already EUC-KR or are convertible into EUC-KR if the source of the man-page is UTF-8 encoded. With the "-c" option the /usr/share/man/man7/iso_8859-1.7.gz will not be truncated but all Latin1 characters will be omitted. This should be good enough. I think better fixes are not possible until we can finally update to a more modern groff version. -- 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.
