Maybe someone will recognize this error and know what it is about: First, using xpdf, I have no problem: xpdf motorola_v60.pdf <motorola_v60.pdf opens as expected>
acroread motorola_v60.pdf Warning: charset "UTF-8" not supported, using "ISO8859-1". Aborted Even the *.pdf files that unpacked with version 5, cause this same error: acroread MapTypes.pdf Warning: charset "UTF-8" not supported, using "ISO8859-1". Aborted My env setting for $LANG shows something that may be the culprit: echo $LANG en_US.UTF-8 Unless I did something dumb during install this is what I got with a fairly stock install.
