After a lot of experimentation, I found that I could get the docbook2x-man command to work by calling it as
docbook2x-man --encoding=UTF-8 slony.xml instead. The output of xsltproc --nonet http://docbook2x.sourceforge.net/latest/xslt/man/docbook.xsl slony.xml does seem to have UTF-8 characters in it. I don't know which one is the culprit for why it still refuses to work on my system -- db2x_manxml or xsltproc. -- Daniel Schepler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
