After adding -c to the commands NROFF, TROFF and JNROFF, the man pages are looking fine again (with vimmanpager). Thanks W.

Whenever I view one, I see the ESC codes rather than seeing bold fonts, etc. I don't remeber when I last used man and it displayed correctly, but I can check back 2 weeks this evening. I have tried several terminals (xterm, gnome-terminal, konsole) and all have the problem. Would this be a tercap problem? Unicode issue, perhaps? It was /etc/man-conf. A change in the NROFF definition caused the problem. Running dispatch-conf didn't prompt me for the config change, so I ran etc-update this time and found it. Hopefully this will be helpful for someone. -- -M There are 10 kinds of people in this world: Those who can count in binary and those who cannot. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Hello, yes it's helpful, but I used etc-update and was to fast and can't remember what are the changes. Could you give me an idea of the working NROFF definition? For now, I solved it by changing the MANPAGER variable to less. I had set MANPAGER to vimmanpager. Perhaps I have a additional problem? Thanks in advance. W.

Here is the NROFF definition which did *not* work: NROFF/usr/bin/nroff -mandoc This is my NROFF setting now, and from before I had the problem, which *does* work: NROFF/usr/bin/nroff -Tascii -c -mandoc I hope this can be helpful to many of you out there. -- -M There are 10 kinds of people in this world: Those who can count in binary and those who cannot. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
