The traditional Unix way to indicate bold, by explicit "overprinting", like B^HBO^HOL^HLD^HD.On 30 March 2013 11:17, Thomas Wolff wrote:Due to changed /etc/man.conf, man64 uses escape sequences for bold display while man32 uses backspace combinations.Backspace combinations?
Compare man ls > ls.man.out with 32/64 bit versions.
However, the escape sequences are not by default interpreted by less (less -r would work), so that PAGER=less man ... produces garbage display.The 32-bit /etc/man.conf has this: PAGER /usr/bin/less -isrR Whereas the 64-bit one has this: PAGER /bin/less -is As Thomas alludes to, the -r option tells 'less' to pass escape characters through to the terminal rather than turn them into a highlighted "ESC". The 32-bit man sources have a source patch that contains the following, so I guess that hasn't been applied in the 64-bit version. -DEFAULTLESSOPT="-is" +DEFAULTLESSOPT="-isrR" Andy
