Description Matthew Barnes 2007-10-02 16:17:58 UTC 
Forwarding this from a downstream bug report:
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=219912

Description of problem:
Man pages encoded in unicode are rendered wrong, some funny characters are
displayed instead of ones that are encoded with two bytes. I am running rawhide
yelp under fc6 (it was pulled when I installed firefox 2.0).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
yelp-2.16.2-1.fc7

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install man-pages-pl
2. LANG=pl_PL.utf-8 yelp
3. Strony podr?dznika -> Aplikacje -> bzip2
  
Actual results:
Dual-byte characters are busted

Expected results:
Man page should be displayed properly

Additional info:
Both man and khelpcenter have no troubles rendering the man page.

Bump. I am attaching the screenshots to ensure the problem is understood. yelp
2.18.0 still suffers from this issue.
