Re: rxvt and strange characters from man


Bash reads .bashrc in non-login shells and .bash_profile in login
shells.  What I do is put the stuff I want done in both cases in
.bashrc and have .bash_profile source .bashrc.

That's the way the default scripts work if I remember right. My solution was an alias. I use the console instead of a terminal and the following works for me:


alias man="LANG=c man"

So far I haven't discovered any flaws. It even works (after a whole 1 tests! :-) in woman.
