Before reassigning this to man I want to ask your opinion:
Info calls man <section> <page> and shows the content of this.
I tried it with a minimal file, containing only
heder stuff
.SH ÅTGÄRDER
ÅTGÄRDER
(in UTF8)
and really the .SH line comes out wrong.
BUT: If I call
man foo > man.out
I see a strange difference:
ÃÃ~ETGÃÃ~DRDER
Ã~ETGÃ~DRDER
Note the difference between the initial
Ã~E ..
in the second line and the doubled
ÃÃ~E ..
in the first line.
And in fact, loading the file into emacs (the man.out) with utf8
encoding I see *only* in the second line the right characters, but the
first line is messed up!
I don't know what man does and why it doubles the initial char, but the
output is not valid utf8, so info is not to blame.
Do you consent?
Best wishes
Norbert
