Markus Kuhn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in linux-utf8:
It is about time to remove a couple of obsolete habits from user
documentation:
Do NOT define the environment variable LESSCHARSET. The current
version of less is able to test the locale and determines automatically
whether you want Latin-1 or UTF-8. Defining LESSCHARSET is a habit from
the time where less would by default assume everything is in ASCII,
which it does not any more. Defining LESSCHARSET deactivates the
automatic locale-based selection of the character encoding.
1. Check your pager. Is it really less?
2. Check that 'locale charmap' returns ISO-8859-1 (or ISO-8859-15
o UTF-8)
There is one bigger problem: the glibc and the Xlib locales are
different and they seem to conflict.
