Man pages not rendering correctly on konsole

Hello fellow garuda users, i have been using garuda KDE since one year. I recently needed to extensively use the man pages but my man pages are not rendering properly. I have no idea how i can describe this to google but heres what my man pages look like. This is the output of "man 2 open"

4mopen24m(2)                                     System Calls Manual                                     4mopen24m(2)

1mNAME0m

This happens on every terminal emulator. Only alacritty running the bash shell can render the man pages properly. I have tried changing konsole's font to other mono spaced fonts but it dosent display properly.

Posting here if anyone got a solution.

Heres my inxi:
