Hello, A new issue has been created and assigned to you:
154 - Localized output of mtn manpage leads to corrputed characters Project: monotone Status: New Reported by: Thomas Keller Labels: Type:Incorrect Behavior Priority:Medium Description: Steps to reproduce the problem: ------------------------------- Call `mtn manpage` or `mtn manpage | nroff -man` in a non-UTF8 and non-english locale. Expected result: ---------------- Proper display of characters outside the ASCII range. Actual results: --------------- Single UTF8 bytes. Output of `mtn version --full`: ------------------------------- 0.99.1 Note that this doesn't work either: `mtn manpage | nroff -man | less` `mtn manpage | nroff -Tutf8 -man | less` `LANG=de_DE.ISO-8859-1 mtn manpage` but this does for some weird reason: `LANG=de_DE.ISO-8859-1 mtn manpage | nroff -man | less` I think the problem is that nroff (groff actually) doesn't really notice that it should run in utf8 mode (this should be the default nowadays) and that it refuses to do so even if we tell him with -Tutf8 to do so explicitely. -- Issue: https://code.monotone.ca/p/monotone/issues/154/ _______________________________________________ Monotone-devel mailing list Monotone-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monotone-devel
