Greetings, the manual file in ASCII text format is filled with odd characters,
and maybe this is a character conversion problem during the file generation.
In example, you can see the problem in the third line of the plain text manual
online
https://www.gnu.org/software/grep/manual/grep.txt
Unfortunately the Savannah web server responds with a header that lacks
the line "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8", needed because this
file uses UTF-8 encoding, not ASCII.
I attempted to fix the server bug by adding an .htaccess file like this:
<Files ".txt">
AddDefaultCharset utf-8
ForceType text/plain
</Files>
at grep's root, but no dice.
Although possibly I messed up the CVS commit (I never remember how to
use CVS any more), Savannah is reeeeallly slow right now and I'm getting
a "502 Bad Gateway" when I try to visit, for example,
<http://web.cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/grep/> to try to debug this. So
I'll cc this email to savannah-hackers to see whether they can fix the
UTF-8 issue for me.
Thanks for the reporting the problem.
