When running a bash shell in rxvt and doing a man page I get weird

I've read about a few solutions, most revolving around UTF-8 and less
and none of them fixing the problem totally. How do I set up rxvt such
that man pages work?
alias man='LANG=C.ISO-8859-1 /bin/man'
Additional options:

   * Update groff (with setup.exe) for a man page fix.
   * alias rxvt="LANG=C /bin/rxvt"
   * alias rxvt=urxvt
   * alias rxvt=mintty
