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.
