In the Html you can see things such as:
"Perché" instead of "Perch=E9"

The PO itself is clean. Recode doesn't complain. Try "LANG=3DC less <file>"=
 and=20
you will see that the PO is really UTF-8.

Likely, some tool dealing with manpages expect them to use the ISO-8859-1=20
charset. I already had a similar experience: one UTF-8 page looked fine whe=
n=20
viewed directly (man ./foo.1), but when insalled and viewed with "man 1 foo=
"=20
it showed the same problem.

The files could be recoded to either ISO-8859-1 or ISO-8859-15, but the rea=
l=20
problem lies elsewere.

Cheers,
