Bug Description

Binary package hint: yelp

The index page for man pages is unreadable -- the display uses the fallback characters that display the Unicode number for each character. Switching fonts doesn't help.

I've had problems in the past with yelp working all right for a while after a distribution upgrade, then developing odd issues. Is there some way to rebuild its index?
