I've been working on what I think is a charset or encoding problem without
any luck . Hopefully someone here can help me out.
I have two development redhat 8.0 servers which a previous admin had put
together which look like they're almost identical. However, there is some
sort of encoding problem on one of them (call it server A). It does not
seem to be able to translate some encoding of some sort. For example, on
server B, bringing up a man page looks normal.
like:
-a, --all
do not hide entries starting with .
-A, --almost-all
do not list implied . and ..
On server A, it brings up what looks like encoding for dashes and hyphens
and other non-alphabetic characters. Instead of hyphnes/dashes it comes up
with a's with little conehead hats. Here is a cut and paste which hopefully
will come through in the email:
âa, ââall
do not hide entries starting with .
âA, ââalmostâall
do not list implied . and ..
ââauthor
print the author of each file
I tried to search on the archives and because I'm not sure what to search
for (charset? encoding?) and "can't read man pages" comes up with a lot of
..er.. interesting opinions on users who can't read man pages.
Thanks!
