In order to avoid problems with CUPS (yes Master, I shall comply) and get consistency within my LAN, I'm finally giving up on the ISO-8859-1 locale and switching my desktop host to use UTF-8. I've already corrected /etc/locale.gen, to change the default locale to UTF-8:
$ egrep -v '^(#|$)' /etc/locale.gen en_US UTF-8 en_US.ISO-8859-1 ISO-8859-1 then reran locale-gen. For the most part everything works fine. I ran utf8migrationtool, which found no problems. 'locale' shows that everything is 'en_US', and 'locale charmap' returns UTF-8. And CUPS and hplip will now talk to each other again, hooray. But there is one minor problem: When I view some man pages, some characters, e.g. a bold-face pipe or single-quote character, are displayed wrong in the terminal, usually as an รข (a with circumflex). If I set LC_ALL=en_US.ISO-8859-1 first, then the characters are displayed correctly. What's causing this problem, and how can I fix it?
