man page problem

[pooh9038]

Today I notice that the man page of some command ,such as ls,rm can be shown in the X-Window terminal(crxvt,gnome-terminal) properly.

When I run "man ls",the following error is shown:

/tmp/zmanEadoXn:267: warning: can't find special character `u95DC'
/tmp/zmanEadoXn:267: warning: can't find special character `u5F88'
/tmp/zmanEadoXn:268: warning: can't find special character `u8457'

/tmp/zmanEadoXn:271: warning: can't find special character `u7531'
/tmp/zmanEadoXn:271: warning: can't find special character `u6210'

and the man page will be shown in this manner:


LS(1) LS(1)

However the man pages for some commands ,e.g bash,esd are display properly as they are in English.

Big5 characters,such as"總計", are displayed properly in the terminal.

I have installed the manpage-zh,do I need to make further configuration?

安裝 manpgage-zh 的話，必須 export LANG=zh_TW.Big5，man 才能看到繁體中文。

不過我個人並不建議安裝這個 package，一來翻譯是對岸的風格/語法、直接轉成繁體中文而已，我們不一定能夠接受；二來轉碼並不完整，仍然有不少亂碼 (也有可能是我沒有設定好)；最後一點比較重要的是，翻譯的進度並不完整，有的指令的 manpage 甚至漏掉不少內容。

小弟在香港居住，兩岸的用詞都能適應，沒有困難。

這現象好像是在中文化X-Window後才出現。

在我的.bashrc及.xesssion都有export LANG=zh_TW.Big5，否則在terminal中便不能顯示中文字，看來需作進一步的設定。從manpages-zh的Readme中，得知可在/usr/lib/man.conf中更改，可是我的系統卻沒有man.conf或類似名稱的file.

從前在Mandrake8.2中有些manpage是中文，好像是自動搞定的。
