We need additional information to figure out the reason. Please provide us with the following:

- The language of RedHat 8. You can find it by running "echo $LANG" at the command-line prompt.
- The language of your Windows machine.
- A screen-shot of the problem.

Thanks for your cooperation.

We know that the man and info utility can't process special characters such as "-" correctly with en_US.UTF8 locale.

You can do one of the following:

  1. Try to set the locale to "en_US" as following:     # export LANG=en_US  2. Try to use "man" instead "info". To "man" correctly,     you should change the PAGER option in "/etc/man.conf":     #PAGER   /usr/bin/less -isr     PAGER   /bin/more

It seems that the "less" and related programs cannot process unicode documents well in RedHat 8. We have no such report for RedHat 9.

I hope this can help you.
