Seems to me that under MacOS 10.2, and maybe early 10.3, when I brought
up a manpage in xman, it was formatted impeccably.
These days (10.3.3) when I bring up a manpage in xman, there are "ugly
chars" in it --
If I do man ls >junk and look at the character sequences that are
causing problems, it's basically the "bold dash"s and single quotes
that're wrong. For instance, the dash character sequence is "-^h-" in
ascii, where ^h means "control-h" 0x08. I'm getting 5 weird
characters -- xyxyy where 'x' looks like 'a' with a hat, and 'y' looks
like the rectangle one usually sees for "missing glyph".
Seems odd that I'm getting 5 characters where I'd expect 3 -- but
obviously something is translating the repeated chars into bold, except
for the c
That makes it sound like it's a font problem, and I tried picking some
different fonts in my .Xdefaults, but that doesn't cure the problem.
Anyone have a clue? What changed?
ls -l $(which xman) says it's the 14 Sept 2003 /usr/X11R6/bin/xman
