Well, you're running squeeze; not a lot has changed since 2010. :-) However, I've been unable to reproduce this in a squeeze chroot after installing groff-base, locales, manpages-dev, and vim, generating the en_US.UTF-8 locale, and running your command in that locale. The line after the one you mention includes a non-ASCII character, so doubtless this is some kind of Unicode-related problem. Let's rule out one possibility first: please attach the output of: zcat /usr/share/man/man3/printf.3.gz | groff -mtty-char -Tutf8 -man -Z Thanks, -- Colin Watson [[email protected]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
