Man not presenting the "-" character properly - charmap issue??

[Peter Sebastian Masny]

Hi all,

Many of my man pages have problems with the character "-".  Sometimes the 
character is shown correctly.  Other times I get a box or more.  I use UTF8 
on my sid system.

$locale charmap
UTF-8

For example, "map cp":
...
>        cp - copy files and directories
> 
> SYNOPSIS
>        cp [OPTION]... SOURCE DEST
>        cp [OPTION]... SOURCE... DIRECTORY
>        cp [OPTION]... ï[24mï[24mtargetï[24mdirectory=DIRECTORY SOURCE...

The dash in front of "copy files and directories" is OK, but not the later 
ones.

Any idea what gives?


Thanks,

Peter
