>Description:
	It appears that nroff by default produces output with
	latin1 charset.  This is most visible on a pccons console
	for the hyphens nroff inserts, which then become 0xad instead
	of 0x2d (why? I don't know).  When running e.g. "man su" on
	a pccons console, this produces "<AD>" on the display instead
	of a hyphen, which looks ugly.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Do "man su" on a pccons console.

>Fix:
	By default format man pages with the -Tascii argument?
