Can you check the output from "man -a fc-list", as info calls man with the -a argument, meaning to find all man pages in the search path? Also, inside Info, could you try scrolling the page to see if both man pages are displayed? If there is still a disparity between "man -a" and "info", then I don't have any other ideas why this might be. > Is it possible that `info` doesn't pass the `MANPATH` environment > variable to the `man` subprocess? I doubt it. Note that a set shell variable is not necessarily inherited by subprocesses, unless it is exported. Have you tried "export MANPATH" in your shell?
