When I view man pages it doesn't format them properly, instead it shows codes like ESC[1m . . . how do I fix this?





Check your '/usr/share/misc/man.config' file.  Make sure PAGER is set
to '/usr/bin/less -isrR'.




Thanks. I looked and the file was named man.config.default. It had the write PAGER setting, so I just renamed it to man.config and all works great now.
