Hi,

I have LANG=en_IE.UTF-8 and unicode does work but the only font proposed by konsole which has all the required characters is LucidaTypewriter, all other fonts as far as I could see miss either one of apostrophe or dash.
It's easy to test calling "man man" and looking e.g. in the EXAMPLES section for "man -t alias..."; the line below (Format  the manual page referenced by ‘alias’, usually a shell man-) does only show properly with LucidaTypewriter (the fact that one font shows it properly lets me think that it's only a font problem, and not a setup one).

Cheers, Eric
