When I do a man page from PuTTY (from an XP Professional system connecting to Redhat 8.0) I get a lot of random "ậ" characters. Only without the period underneath. Is there setting that will eliminate this or is it just a small but that probably will not get fixed?
When I do these man pages directly on my Linux box, I do not have the same problem. Thanks in advance!

Have you tried using UTF-8 translation in PuTTY? See my recent posting
<http://groups.google.com/groups?q=msgid%3AXtD%2ARtLCp%40news.chiark.greenend.org.uk>.
This is turning into an FAQ for us, so please reply or mail
pu...@projects.tartarus.org if you resolve this issue.
If RH8 has switched to expecting a UTF-8 terminal by default, I'm not
sure what the right solution is -- for the RH system to send an
appropriate escape code at some point, or to expect users to switch
PuTTY into UTF-8 mode, or what.
