Description P. Levine 2007-08-11 06:07:20 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          GCC 4.2.0 (Gentoo 4.2.0 p1.4), Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu, Thread model: posix
OS:                Linux

When opening the "evdev.4x" manpage in KHelpCenter the '\*q' formatting symbol appears as '34'. For example:

SYNOPSIS
Section '34'InputDevice'34'
  Identifier '34'devname'34'
  Driver '34'evdev'34'
  Option '34'Device'34'   '34'devpath'34'


Using "man" in the console it's rendered correctly:

SYNOPSIS
       Section "InputDevice"
         Identifier "devname"
         Driver "evdev"
         Option "Device"   "devpath"
Comment 1 Burkhard Lück 2008-07-25 13:30:37 UTC 
I confirm, that in recent trunk and stable compiled from sources and in kubuntu hardy 3.5.9 the formatting symbol '\*q' is appears as '34'.

I think this is not a khelpcenter bug, but a bug in kioslave kio_man.
