Man can be made to display colors instead of the bold and underline attributes, for example on a RH9 box with the following, man-1.5k-6 XFree86-4.3.0-2 less-378-7 vim-enhanced-6.1-29 the bold characters are blue, and the underlined stuff is green in man. And in vi the -- INSERT -- text that indicates that we are in insert mode, is blue (because it carries a bold attribute). Since I upgraded to FC3, the colors disappeared from man. And I also don't quite understand your solution with "Ctrl+F2" (maybe you have Gnome or KDE in mind? I run neither, only sawfish), but I wouldn't want to view html pages, the man format is great, the only thing is that I would prefer to have colors. And also I would prefer to see the -- INSERT -- text of vi in blue, not bold, but this is a secondary issue, I'm sure once I manage to get man colorized, it will turn blue immediately :) Anyone? Colors in man with FC3?
