[gentoo-user] Problem with UNICODE and man pages encoding

[jcd]

Hi.
I converted my system to UNICODE with assistance 
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Make_your_system_use_unicode/utf-8. I 
re-encoded several files and several filenames. But my man-pages are 
still displayed with bad characters ('á' is 'á') in console even in X 
terminal emulator. I unmerged package (with local man pages 
'app-i18n/man-pages-cs'), deleted distfile and again merged but it 
remained same. So I had uncompressed one local man page and looked into 
raw text and there it is all right. I tried to changed line in 
/etc/make.conf:
Code:
NROFF           /usr/bin/nroff -Tascii -c -mandoc

to
Code:
NROFF           /usr/bin/nroff -Tutf8 -c -mandoc

and also according to comments to
Code:
NROFF           /usr/bin/nroff -c -mandoc.

In both cases result was same. Also I have correct fonts for my language 
and unicode use flag defined.
