What the hell is this by the way and what does all that groff created
stuff mean?
That's the format used by the man system. IIRC, Groff predates HTML
(the format used by Help Viewer) by a number of years.
That's really PostScript. Groff is part of a typesetting system. It
can output in many diffeent formats, like TeX dvi, PCL, HTML, text and
Unicode. For some reason (discussed here before), Apple's system makes
groff want to format like it was sending it to a postscript printer.
It should be formating it for the ISO 8859-1 character set that xterm
is using.
The actual groff can be viewed by looking at the actual manpage file.
The man page for X is located at /usr/X11R6/man/man7/X.7 . Open it
with any text editor.
