You haven't said exactly what you typed to get this output, but if you 
have line numbers when using man, you've asked for line numbers from 
the pager that man uses, called "less". I think that typing

echo $LESS

will show that you've got the "-N" option set. unset LESS to stop this 
happening. If this isn't the case, then you may have the MANPAGER 
variable set to something like "/usr/bin/less -N". man man for details.

The font issue (seeing <80><98>lm<80><99>) is actually an encoding 
issue in the man page you're looking at. It appears that the document 
is using Windows curly quotes, which are not at their standard Unicode 
positions. This would be a bug in the package that supplies that man page.
