Re: [Inkscape-devel] man page source?

Depends on what charset (LC_CTYPE) the user has. It makes a difference for UTF-8, use of which is becoming increasingly common. In particular, it means that people can't use mouse copy&paste from man pages.

Are you sure it's the problem wtih man page and not with the software you use to display it?

Thinking of which, I don't see why we may need minus signs at all. All options use hyphens. In the text, hyphens are acceptable as substitutes for em-dashes. So why is the minus sign needed?
