This was one of the things that kept me using the old man package on my own systems for a while (if shadow installs pages, why would I want a version of man that couldn't use them ?), but the man-db maintainer has had his eye on the ball.
Even as far back as 20100616 this worked [ what I'm running, less gcc-4.5, on the ppc64 where I've just checked this - on the LFS-6.6 ppc I first looked at, the highlighted ASCII was converted into <xx> although the Korean and Japanese glyphs were rendered :-( ] Thanks for pointing to the encoding tables - I don't know if the rendering (in urxvt) is *correct*, but it certainly looks plausible (but, I suspect that the 'highlighting' in bright white might not all be correct) - that additional information persuades me to change this in the BOOK. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
