Thanks for your report. Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce your bug.
Could you provide more information on:
- What locale settings you actually used? (Full output of the "locale"
command would be desirable.)
Ops, forgotten bits:
LANG=bg_BG
Thanks, this is actually a bug in man-db (or groff-base).
It seems that some code assumes that 0x80-0x9F are control characters,
which is not true for CP1251. Here's a minimal example:
$ printf '\\(oq' > tmp.1
$ LC_ALL=bg_BG man -l tmp.1
<91>
