Looking at the output of man, it seems that man formats with backspace ("<^H>"), e.g., bold X is X<^H>X and underlined Y is _<^H>Y. Looking at /etc/defaults/etc/man.conf suggests to me that TROFF or NROFF might be involved. Reading the manual page for man.conf is even more suggestive. $ man -S 5 man.conf Assuming that the above is useful, where one goes from there is left as an exercise for someone else.

It's hardcoded in the Cygwin DLL (in winsup/cygwin/fhandler_console.cc), so you'd have to build that yourself to change it. Getting man/groff to use something other than the underline attribute might be the better approach, but I don't know how to do that.

Here's how you can change it. First, do: printenv TERM This should display "cygwin" as the terminal type. If not, replace "cygwin" in the following instructions with whatever terminal type you are using. The terminfo files are stored under /usr/share/terminfo. If you look there you will see several subdirectories with one and two-character names. Each terminfo entry is stored in a subdirectory which corresponds to the ASCII value of its first character in hex, so the "cygwin" file is in the "63" directory. You will also find a copy under the "c" directory, but that's not the one the system uses. I presume that the one-character directories are for backwards compatibility. Make a backup copy of the "cygwin" file so you can restore the original functionality in case you mess things up. Now go create a new working directory somewhere, perhaps under your home directory. In there, type: infocmp cygwin >cygwin.txt This will convert the binary terminfo file from /usr/share/terminfo/63 into a text file you can examine and edit. Edit the file with the text editor of your choice and locate the capabilities "smul" and "rmul". "smul" specifies the escape sequence that will be used to introduce "underlined" characters, and "rmul" is the sequence that turns this mode off. Set these values to whatever produces the effect you desire. (More on this below.) After editing the source file, type: tic cygwin.txt This "compiles" the source file back into the binary format and overwrites the original binary file in /usr/share/terminfo/63. There are ways to redirect it to another directory, but I'll leave you to figure that out for yourself. (man tic) Now run the man command and see if it produces the effect you want. As for how to figure out what escape sequence to use, unpack the attached file "sgr_options,txt" and cat it in the desired terminal window. Use "cat" rather than "less" or any other program that will filter the file contents. This will show you the effects of the different options to the SGR (Set Graphic Rendition) escape sequence. For "rmul" just use "\E[0m" which turns off all modes.
