Those are files that are using troff-like backspace+character
sequences to simulate bold and underline. You can probably view those
properly through less and more. However,
1- To view it with emacs, use M-x Man-fontify-manpage (you may have to
view a manual page first to load the function, but I'm not sure)
2- Filter the file through `col -b'.
