I support every step to get utf8 and man work together. At the moment with
LANG=de_DE.utf8 i give NROFF the '-Tascii' option. But this is only okay
because the most man pages be in english and so the possibility that i can
search for a '-' character is more important than seeing an umlaut.

Good luck and thanks for your impulse.

See you, Attila
