(Get the code!)
(Sorry for my delay; I missed your reply.)
That depends. The MANPAGER and PAGER environment variables take precedence; "pager" is used if neither is set. Rather than trying to second-guess it, it's better to simply observe what's used; for example, pressing 'h' at the pager will show a page with "SUMMARY OF LESS COMMANDS" at the top if it's less, or you could check a process listing from another terminal while man is running.
It would also be worth trying a different terminal program, of which there are many.
