On Fedora FC3, when I use ssh to connect to the machine, the display is all garbled for single quote, double quote, and grave accent characters. I thought it was related to man only, so filed a bug report for groff: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=145353 But I just relalized that all text display in a ssh terminal (VT100, VT320, etc) is messed up. slrn, mutt, man, and I am sure all such text display programs mess up, for example, the single quote character ends up as: D o n 342 200 231 t [octal] D o n 226 128 153 t [decimal] instead of the word: Don't I can fix this by changing LANG to be just en_US instead of en_US.UTF-8, but why would Fedora be released with UTF-8 lang setting if all applications break on remote access? Do I need to worry about breaking something else if I set LANG globally to just "en_US"? BTW, even with en_US.UTF-8 setting, display is correct - man, slrn, mutt all work correctly in a KDE konsole.
