Re: 23.0.60; Incorrect fontification for man in utf8 environment

[Michael Welsh Duggan]

Some more research on this:

The resulting file from:

 TERM=dumb GROFF_NO_SGR=1 man man > /tmp/man.out

on my system is:

man.out
Description: Binary data

Looking at this file using hexl-find-file, one can see that formatting
codes are inserted in the output.  See from byte 0xad for example.

The coding system is set in man.el by:

            (coding-system-for-read
             (if default-enable-multibyte-characters
                 locale-coding-system 'raw-text-unix))

So the coding sytem is utf-8-unix on my system.  The aforementioned
formatting codes seem as if they are being interpreted as utf8-encoded
characters, causing the output from earlier in this bug report.
