No, but you don't supply enough information to really help debugging. * Which version of which operating system are you running? * Which version of groff are you running? * Which version of man(1) are you running? Please show the output of the following commands: $ locale $ env | grep -i term $ echo '\(bu' | nroff | hexdump -C $ echo '\(bu' | mandoc | hexdump -C The latter may help diagnosing the problem if you have mandoc(1) installed. More information may be needed, but the above should get us started. I suspect that you have set your locale(1) to an encoding your terminal doesn't support, for example a UTF-8 locale in a non-UTF-8 terminal, but that's a far shot given that you provided so little information. > $ grep ^TROFF /etc/man.config > TROFF/usr/bin/groff -Tps -mandoc That's probably not relevant. The output shown below indicates that your man(1) is not using the -Tps output mode. Yours, Ingo
