Description Matthias Schwarzott gentoo-dev 2006-09-04 14:32:49 UTC 
I request you to remove the -Tascii from this line in /etc/man.conf:
NROFF          /usr/bin/nroff -Tascii -c -mandoc

When the -Tascii is removed the autodetect-mechanism of /usr/bin/nroff comes to work.
For this to work correctly (at least for german locale de_DE@euro) one needs to use >=sys-apps/groff-1.19.2-r1 as the versions before do not know ISO-8859-15 -> -Tlatin1 connection.


Please let this bug be blocked by any issue stopping us from removing -Tascii and letting autodetect-magic of nroff work.

Comment 4 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2008-02-24 19:00:38 UTC 
man-1.6f-r1 drops all -c and -T options by default and forces latest groff so as to avoid the dash funkiness
