Thank you Jatin.

I knew 'most' would work.
It is able to display colours as well.

But I am used to 'less' and its key bindings.

I am quite puzzled as why the termcap settings for less don't work in Fedora20.

Do you have any explanations??

Just a few hours ago I installed CentOS 7 and it worked fine there too with KDE.
Do you know any sort of workaround to this problem??

LESS_TERMCAP_me=$'\E[0m' \
LESS_TERMCAP_se=$'\E[0m' \
LESS_TERMCAP_so=$'\E[01;33;40m' \
LESS_TERMCAP_ue=$'\E[0m' \
LESS_TERMCAP_us=$'\E[01;04;35m' \
man "$@"
