Well, they look fine here (in gnome-terminals and on the console), and
this is pretty much a default install of RH8.0. In xterms, man pages look
a bit odd, and sometimes the same is true of remote logins. If you can
set your apps to understand UTF-8 encoding, that's the best solution. If
you insist on using non UTF-8-aware apps, then you will want to change the
laguage setting to not include the UTF-8 designator. The system-wide
setting is in /etc/sysconfig/i18n. You can also do this in your
.bash_profile or on a command-by-command basis, e.g., "LANG=en_US man
man".
