After installing Cygwin 1.7.1, I noticed ugly man pages because LANG=UTF-8 causes man pages to be formatted with U+2010 hyphens, which aren't supported by Windows, so I took another's advice and installed mintty, which seemed to work just fine until I tried to use FTP or Telnet (the Windows versions). The mintty man page pro- vides a reason why it might not work with certain interactive pro- grams (see "LIMITATIONS"), which I presume includes these two programs.
In lieu of going back to LANG=C and cygwin.bat, wondering if there is a recommended configuration that doesn't have these problems. --Ken Nellis
