I've installed Red Hat Linux 8 on a Compaq PC from scratch. I use the KDE desktop (I haven't got Gnome installed at all), and I've selected the Windows Look and Feel using the desktop
My problem is that most Man pages (e.g. man iptables) don't display properly in a terminal window. Hyphens and possibly other characters display as empty squares. This also happens if I run a terminal window using PuTTY via SSL from a Windows client over the network. It doesn't happen with a non-graphical interface at RunLevel 3, and it didn't happen at all before I upgraded from RHL 7.2 to 8.0. I've applied all the available patches using Up2date, and the problem is still there. I've also seen it on a completely separate system elsewhere, again with RHL 8 on a PC server with a network terminal session from a Windows PC running PuTTY. I don't know what desktop was in use on that server. This seems a fairly basic problem, annoying rather than critical, but of course you never know what it may conceal. Any solutions?
