No, bold isn't available with the default

the utf8 part of the lang variable allows emacs to fully render the characters in its

in any case, regardless of where i run man pages, i do not get the bold highlighting

Ive looked, but I dont see where I can set the groff page size,
be it a default for ALL groff output or just for man pages [ man
pages are about the only thing that use groff any more ].
Can someone POINT me to the place to make the change.

didn't see any problems before I made the change. I made the
change because of a posting in this listing about UTF-8/unicode
problems.

Hey all,
I'm useing SecureCRT 3.01
I'm only having this problem on RH 8.0 machines.
The man pages aren't displaying properly.
I have tried virtualy every setting combination I can think on in SecureCRT with no
luck.
Is this a fixable problem on my end or is the man pages just screwed up
There were several messages about this last week. Something to do with
unicode. Consult the archives. :)

Anyone else have problems with garbage characters in man pages (see below)?
Your terminal isn't configure to accept UTF-8 characters. What are you
using?
Any idea how to rebuild the database?
I guess catman -w dosen't work on linux

From time to time it is good to have printed copies of man pages.
when I issue the command man binary /path
When I do this most of the text works out OK. The headings end up with
double or triple characters or have squares between the repeated characters.
Does anyone know of a method

Two more possibilities:
man [man Page] -t groff | ps2ascii [man page].txt
man [man Page] -t groff | lpr
2 possible ways, there are others as well.
man -t some man page | lpr
groff -man -pte /path/to/some/man/page | lpr
