It's very strange, because I cannot reproduce the problem on my
system, with UTF-8 encoded man pages, although my system's
locale-coding-system is also iso-latin-1. When I override the default
encoding with "C-x RET c", the man pages are displayed correctly.
From the screenshot you sent, I see that it was taken not in "emacs -Q",
but on Reddit you said that "emacs -Q" shows the same problem?
