Remove -Tlatin from the nroff call, as nroff will autodetect the proper charset (this will help in displaying utf8 man pages), closing 7477 hopefully.
Afaik this is no solution. In fact man pages are even more broken then. :-)
It fixes *some* here. For instance, take a look at the pacman 3.1 man page. A few of the quote characters are in utf8, and show up as (?) or something until you remove the -Tlatin1.
Either way, removing that should be the proper way to go here. Replacing man with man-db is probably more proper, but I am simply working with what we have at this moment, as I don't have enough gusto to do the complete replacement.
Whoops, hit "send" too soon. Could you please explain what "more broken" means. At the very least, a few of us (eliott, dan, and myself) removed this line a few days ago and I have heard no report of issues. This may be that we're all en_US people, but it may not. You also need to unset LESSCHARSET for the full effect, but this may not be done if you have the old /etc/profile due the the pacman 3.0 backup issue
