Background: everything up to date Terminal: rxvt
If I query info for a page that exists only in the manpages, all is well except there's nothing special about highlighting.
If, however, I use man itself it behaves as though it is double-escaping the highlight sequences: i.e. the \e]??m codes are in the source and man surrounds them with additional escapes in order to render "non-display" codes instead of just letting them do their thing.
If I'm really a glutton for punishment I can try pinfo. That gives me the worst of both worlds.
attached: (a) cygcheck output (b) screenshot "info man" (c) screenshot "man man" (d) screenshot "pinfo man"
The screenshots were created in .png format by the Gimp v2.0-pre.
possibilities that occur to me: something not so good in terminfo or in my .Xdefaults
