Weird characters in man pages

- Subject: Weird characters in man pages
I just installed Cygwin 1.7.1 and Puttycyg 20091228. When I viewed
a man page I saw the letter 'a' with two dots above it instead of
'-' characters. So, knowing that Cygwin 1.7 now used UTF-8, I changed
my character translation set in Puttycyg to UTF-8 for my Cygwin
session. Now man pages have fat half-height vertical bars instead
of '-' characters. I don't know if this is a Putty, Puttycyg, or
Cygwin issue. I am asking here in case anyone has any insight about
this issue. Thanks.
