This is from the RH8.0 release notes, it may help. Sorry for the broken
formatting, pine's fault.
o Red Hat Linux now installs using UTF-8 (Unicode) locales by default
in
languages other than Chinese, Japanese, or Korean.
This has been known to cause various issues:
. Line drawing characters in applications such as make menuconfig
do
not always appear correctly in certain locales.
. On the console, the latarcyrheb-sun16 font is used for best
Unicode
coverage. Due to the use of this font, bold colors are not
available.
. Certain third party applications, such as the Adobe(R) Acrobat
Reader(R), may not function correctly (or crash upon startup)
because
they lack support for Unicode locales. Until third party developers
provide such support in their products, you may work around this
issue
by setting the LANG environment variable at the shell prompt to C
prior to typing the application name. For example:
env LANG=C acroread
