How about...

Quit Terminal

Delete the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Terminal.plist file

Restart your Mac

Relaunch terminal

do

man less

command as before.

Then report. Did it work. 🙂

IF it didn't work try under a different user account.

Create a standard test account

then try Terminal

Does it work?

If not backup Mac

Boot from Recory HD(Cmd+R) at startup) and reinstall OS. This will not delete your existing files. It will just replace a new copy of OSX.

This worked for me. thanks! I should have tried this before to save some time in investigating this issue.
