But you narrowed it down - it is not the terminal, but less(1) that cannot show the iso characters. Manually using gunzip -c <manpage.gz> | more shows iso-latin characters, using | less does not. So now we know the culprit. Is there an alternative package I can use for less? Or is the current version of less buggy? $ less --version less version 332+iso242
