Some observations:
Under GNOME:
man exportfs (from gnome-terminal) everything shows up fine.
info exportfs (from gnome-terminal) minuses "-" show up as 2 question
marks and a minus "??-".
man exporfs (from a "Konsole 1.1.3 (Using KDE 3.0.3-8.3)" window)
minuses show up as small squares or gibrish.
Seems to be something fishy about KDE.

No, not when I type from the keyboard. As seen in standard output in
the terminal window.
