problem displaying man pages

[piti]

hi
i'm experiencing problems with displying man pages, some symbols are "rendered" improperly, and the text is almost unreadable, see example of the first lines of 'man man'
it doesn't matter if logged in localy or remotely
any idea what could be wrong?
i don't know if it's relevant, but after successfull login i receive: already in UTF-8

example:
man(1) man(1)

NAME
man â format and display the onâline manual pages
manpath â determine userâs search path for man pages

SYNOPSIS
man [�âacdfFhkKtwW] [�â�âpath] [�âm system] [�âp string] [�âC config_file]
[�âM pathlist] [�âP pager] [�âS section_list] [section] name ...

I've bumped into this problem before. I just set the environmental variable LANG to C, and it displayed properly ([tt]export LANG=C[/tt]).
