Missing elements in Manpages
I'm using Ubuntu Desktop 18.04.
It is really weird, but in every Manpage (also in ksh and sh), there are missing elements such as the program name or flags. I posted also a picture of the incomplete manpage:
When I use info instead of man, everything is OK, so there is an error with man...
How can I fix it?
bash manpage

What terminal program are you using? To me it looks as though the terminal does not support the default encoding.

Looks like the bold formatting isn't working...not sure why yet. What terminal program are you using? Anything changed in it's fonts, your .profile, .bashrc, etc?

I can reproduce that by configuring bold to a black color in gnome-terminal.
Menu: "Edit" -> "Profile Preferences", then tab "Colors"
Is there a check mark on "Bold color"? If yes, disable.
