Hi,

Could you tell me what encoding I need to use to view your man pages?

I've tried Unicode, Western, Western ISO, but still get some unreadable
characters in the EXAMPLES (I've just looked at the find and du commands so
far):

â€â€™ linuxcommand find1 can't display read

BTW, I'm using Win7 Pro English, IE9. All latest updates.
I have the same problem in Chrome...

Thx,
Harold
