I recently installed Red Hat 8.0 on a server without installing X.  I
just want command line only, and I think that may have had something to
do with my fonts being screwed up. Then again, I could be on the
completely wrong track here.  The fonts I'm referring to are in the man
pages for everything.  Here is a quick snipped of what a man page looks
like for me:

------------------------------------------------
SYNOPSIS
       spamassassin [option ...] < mailmessage
       spamassassin −P [option ...] < mailmessage > output Options:
            ‐a, ‐‐auto‐whitelist, ‐‐whitelst   Use
auto‐whitelists
            ‐h, ‐‐help                         Print usage message
            ‐P, ‐‐pipe                         Pipe message,
don’t deliver
            ‐e, ‐‐error‐code, ‐‐exit‐code      Exit with a
non‐zero exit code for spam
            ‐t, ‐‐test‐mode                    Pipe message
through and add extra report
            ‐r, ‐‐report                       Report message as
spam
            ‐W, ‐‐add‐to‐whitelist             Add addresses
in mail to 

OPTIONS
       −P, −−pipe
           Normally SpamAssassin will write the rewritten message to the
mail
           spool by default.  The −P parameter will cause it to pipe
the out‐
           put to STDOUT instead.
--------------------------------------------------

I obviously have a very hard time reading this.  I've been using the
same ssh client on windows for years to work on my linux boxen.  The
program I use is called Secure CRT.  So, my question is - is this font
problem more likely related to a linux setting, or a setting with my ssh
client?
