https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60807 --- Comment #5 from Peter Schiffer <pschiffe@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Hi Michael, 1. It looks like it works without the encoding line, but as Colin said in the email, it's better with it. 2. Also, greatly answered by Colin, I'll just add that we are converting man-pages to utf-8 since before the first RHEL-6 was released, when Fedora wasn't using the man-db but man 1.6. In general, we convert almost everything to the utf-8 what is not and has special characters, otherwise it's usually troubles.. peter -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
