[Bug 50318] Re: manpage rendered wrong
Christian, there is no error in the source of the xorg.conf(5) manual page. groff is a typesetting language with its own syntax that you need to know if you intend to read the source directly. At the top of the page it declares: .\ shorthand for double quote that works everywhere. .ds q \N'34' This causes groff to replace \*q with \N'34' whenever it sees it, which in turn expands to the ASCII symbol. (It would be more usual to use the predefined \(dq named character instead, but I suspect yelp might have trouble with that too so who cares.) There is no character set problem here, nothing to do with complicated encoding matters or anything; the problem is simply that yelp doesn't use man or groff to format manual pages and instead tries to do it itself. Naturally it gets it wrong from time to time. This is a fundamental design error in yelp and the best that can probably be done in the short term is to crudely patch around it. -- manpage rendered wrong https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/50318 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 50318] Re: manpage rendered wrong
can confirm that. in gnome-terminal by typing man xorg.conf everything is fine. when starting yelp and selecting xorg.conf manpage through search (by clicking) or typing man:xorg.conf all the quoation marks () in this page get converted wrong to the letter Q Example: Option Accel boolean is displayed as Option qAccelq qbooleanq locales are definetely (checked them twice, a cleanly installed system) correct on my system. The error does _not_ occur in a non-graphical terminal or in the gnome-terminal, either. Te error only occurs in yelp. Running on feisty. my locale: de_DE.UTF-8 (But I don't think that is an issue because of german umlauts or the german quotation marks (the first one on a word is on the bottom, not both at top).

[Bug 50318] Re: manpage rendered wrong
Just ago I asked some people on irc ubuntu. Can now confirm, that this occurs also on en-US environments. So this is _not_ a locale configuration issue. Someone on the irc, tried watching xorg.conf manpage with vi and there it's the same error there. shows quotation marks () as \*q Very strange that this only happens with xorg.conf in yelp and in vi, too.

Yelp also seems to convert quotes () in manpages to the letter q.
