After doing a nixos-rebuild, if I type man man, I now get:

... and more gibberish like that
I’m using an identical NixOS configuration (apart from hardware stuff) on another machine, and I don’t have this problem.
# nix-channel --list
nixos https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-19.03
My configuration.nix:
$ cat /etc/nixos/configuration.nix
{ config, pkgs, options, ... }:
{
networking.hostName = "wombat9000"; # Define your hostname.
imports =
[ # Include the results of the hardware scan.
/etc/nixos/hardware-configuration.nix
/home/amy/dotWombat/nixos/wombat9000.nix
/home/amy/dotWombat/nixos/R.nix

My wombat9000.nix:
$ cat /home/amy/dotWombat/nixos/wombat9000.nix

{
boot.loader.grub.device = "/dev/sda"; # or "nodev" for efi only
}
My R.nix and python3.nix files are probably not relevant.
My base.nix is below. I’m guessing the problem has something to do with the i18n section, but I don’t think I’ve changed that since I first installed NixOS.
