Hello I am experiencing a problem with acroread (Acobat reader)v.4.05-5 on what I believe is a typical Debian GNU/Linux 3 (Woody/Testing) system running on a Compaq Professional Workstation 5000 (P-Pro SMP).
Acroread does not display any menu text at all (just gray line boxes where the text should be) and when it is started from an xterm the following error message is displayed: Warning: charset of fontList (ISO10646-1) does not match locale (ISO8859-1). I suspect this has come about because recently I had to change the user and root locales to ISO8859-1 (using dpkg-reconfigure locales)to enable recent releases of multi-gnome-terminal (currently v1.3.13) to run on my system. Reluctantly (because ISO8859-1 seems to be ideal for a UK based Debian box) I tried to set both the user and root locales to ISO10646-1. But this option is not available using dpkg-reconfigure locales. My system does have the following relevant looking file: /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/ISO_10646.gz But so far I have been unable to discover if it can be used to change the locales. I would be grateful for any suggestions on how to sort this problem out, since I need to use acroread to read work related docs.
