No, it really isn't ISO-8859-2 output. The problem seems to be that man produces ISO-8859-1 output in an ISO-8859-15 locale. gnome-terminal, based on the locale, thinks the output _is_ in fact ISO-8859-15. This set does include the Zhe. And by the way: gnome-terminal seems to ignore the charset part of the font selection. It doesn't matter at all which on I choose. I just discovered something: xterm displays the man pages just fine. I guess it ignores the locale settings. Two programs that ignore the locale working fine together.

Well, I have iso8859-13 fonts here. Fonts like helvetica support it. I can display that set in gcharmap, for example. Maybe your (DSC Siltec's) locale settings are wrong.
