[kde-linux] Viewing man pages with Konqueror

Hi all,

My distro is Suse 10.1. Man pages came in groff, gz compressed,
format. Konqueror allows to see them entering "man:<name>"
in the URL line. However, for some reason, character set involved by
defect in this option is 7 bit ASCII. This is not inconvenient if
docs are written in English, but it is a problem when the language
(Spanish in my case) makes use of 8 bit characters.

Know somebody how to set this option to a 8 bit code (say, iso-8859-1
or utf8)?. (It must be said that general preferences of Konqueror
do not affect this utility).

Thanks,
Toni
