Strange characters when viewing man pages with SecureCRT

[kencl]

Hi Folks,

Anyone know what to do about these strange characters when reading man pages? Look at the OPTIONS section in the attached screen capture. Is there a specific charset I need to set in SecureCRT config or something?

Thanks for any ideas.

Thanks!

Set your LANG environment variable to C.

LANG=C
export LANG

Hi kencl,

Thanks for the question. You can find a FAQ about this at the following location:

If you're currently connected to the remote machine and viewing a man page with those strange characters, open Options -> Session Options..., choose the Terminal -> Appearance category, and set the Character encoding to UTF-8. Press OK to save your settings, and then type Ctrl+L to cause a remote redraw/refresh and the strange characters should be gone.
Does this help to resolve the issue?

That fixed it. Thanks!
