While it is a good start for UTF-8, it will require more work to
integrate. For example, the patch to buffer.c:forward_columns does
not appear to properly handle tab characters, embedded backspaces,
etc. Such backspaces are used by manpages to simulate an overstrike,
underline, etc, e.g.,
This is B\bBO\bOL\bLD\bD
This is BOLD\r BOLD
This is U\b_N\b_D\b_E\b_R\b_L\b_I\b_N\b_E\b_D\b_
Accounting for such constructs greatly complicate searches, etc. I
welcome the new manpage format that use ANSI escape sequences but I do
not know how widespread their use is.
Thanks,
