Right. More questions. - What are those scrambled characters and what do you expect instead? - Which man pages are affected? - Can you double-check that LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE are unset or empty and that LANG is set to en_US.UTF-8? - What font are you using? - Is there anything in /var/cache/man? If so, does clearing it make a difference?
