man pages showing special characters

[Durwin De La Rue]

I have searched the archive on this with complicated results.

First, I am using latest version of cygwin.  I normally use rxvt.  But 
after having this issue with it, and finding information that mintty 
does not have the issue, I started using mintty.  My first attempt to 
fix the issue in rxvt was successful (export LANG=C).  However, at some 
point it failed.  LANG is the same, but I again was getting special 
characters where a hyphen (and quotes and other punctuation)  is suppose 
to be.  That is when I started using mintty.  It worked right off no 
problems.  However *now* it is doing the same.  I have tried setting 
LANG and LC_ALL to en_US.utf8 but nothing is helping.

Any suggestions?

Thank you,

Durwin
