It might have to do with striping the 8th bit of a byte before it gets displayed on the terminal. For man, try the -7 option . That might not help you at all, but since the other responses from the list has not fix your problem yet, that is what I would investigate until a better suggestion arrives. Also, you may want to try different fonts, who knows. Or, try different options to /usr/bin/setterm, it might be.
And if you find out, please, post the solution. Ioannis Tambouras [EMAIL PROTECTED], West Palm Beach, Florida Signed pgp-key on key server.
