Good research, you two! Could you do me a favor and also try tweaking |
| 9 |
/etc/man.conf so that all references of -Tlatin1 are changed to -Tascii? |

Maybe this will do the trick. I'm not sure what solution is better, but |
| 11 |
it seems that if we can fix this problem by correcting man.conf (rather |
| 12 |
than adding a special less-specific env var), then that would be the way |
| 13 |
to go. |
