Hmm, As I checked your patch, it does not work correctly.
The following for() loop never run, because at first j = 0, then
j && lang_table[j].lang will be false. so it would never check lang_table.

I'm not sure what you intend here exactly, but I think it should be
the followings, shouldn't it?
int j;
for ( j=0; lang_table[j].lang; j++ ) {
if (( strncmp( lang_table[j].lang, lang
, strlen( lang_table[j].lang))
== 0 )
|| ( lang_table[j].lang[0] == '*' )) {
roff_device =
lang_table[j].device;
troff = 1;
putenv( strappend ( 0
,"LESSCHARSET="
, lang_table[j].charset
, 0));
break;
}
}
With this fix, it works fine for LANG=ja. Thanks!
