Hi!

I am using German language settings, and I have to set
LESSCHARSET=latin1 to read manpages in a sane way.
If LESSCHARSET is not set, everywhere where a line ends with
a "-", there will be something unprintable.
(And worse, text containing umlauts (���...) will be recognized
as binary by less, and all those chars will be unprintable as well.)
So probably the LESSCHARSET setting should be added to the
default setup.
(At least for german settings, but I tried to set LANG, LC_ALL
etc to C or en and got the same error without LESSCHARSET?)

                                Kai.

(Don't know why I'm so busy posting today... :-))
