Linux Man Pages

[Ynog]

I used to know what the answer to this problem is, but now I cannot seem to remember.

On one of the linux systems I use, the man pages do not view correctly.
Most of the man path is displayed correctly but some of the formating gets
displayed incorrectly. Like this for example. &<80><90>. Now as I
write this it seems to be happening for things with 's on them. Where the
apostrophe is being replaced with &<80><90>. Anyone know how to correct this
problem.

Not sure if anyone is curious however, I found out the problem is from the LANG environment variable.

Apparently Redhat/Fedora sets by default the LANG to en_US.UTF-8, which causes problems
with the viewing of certain characters, the apostrophe being one of them.

So if anyone every runs into this problem, you can change the /etc/sysconfig/i18n LANG to be
en_US and that fixes the problem.

That reminds me of a problem I have with knoppix and KDE. I accidently started it with German language support, well I quckly switched it over but then it had a bunch of little things. Like the z button was mapped "y" and visa versa, among other things. Since it was a new install a simple "rm -rf ~/.*" fixed it when I reconfigured KDE.
