Thanks for the suggestions. Invoking man with "-E ascii" fixed this for me.

It sounds like some distributions do have this fixed in their default settings. I'm on Cygwin 3.6.6; maybe it's mostly a Cygwin thing.

Cygwin is nice, but it's a Frankenstein's monster. I'd hold back critical thoughts and feelings, until testing elsewhere.

You'll be happiest.
