Unfortunately acroread cannot handle UTF-8. Is there a way around? Since the other pdf-viewers have problems rotating stuff, sometimes acroread is the only way out.
To get Chinese working I set RC_LANG="en_US.UTF-8" and RC_LC_TYPE="zh_TW.UTF-8" in /etc/sysconfig/language. I do not have anything
Can you describe in more detail please what problem occurs when trying to use acroread in UTF-8? like ./xcin or similar. All the other things like fonts, input-servers etc. I had known before and installed. What I did not know was how to start xcin. After this, when starting acroread from the panel, the icon flashes somewhere on the screen for some time and then stops. To find out some more I tried to start acroread in a console. Result as below: uli@p4:~> acroread Warning: charset "UTF-8" not supported, using "ISO8859-1". Aborted When I comment RC_LC_CTYPE="zh_TW.UTF-8" out, acroread works again, but-of course- no more xcin. I then "googled" and found that it is a known problem with acroread not to accept UTF-8. Unfortunately I could find no solution. I also did the on-line update. This did not change anything>>>>>>>> I am running in ja_JP.UTF-8 locale always and didn't notice any problems. There are many locales where Acroread itself has problems and doesn't work correctly. but the script used to start Acroread uses LANG=en_US and LC_NUMERIC=POSIX: LANG="en_US" export LANG LC_NUMERIC=POSIX export LC_NUMERIC (see /usr/X11R6/bin/acroread). Therefore one doesn't notice any problems even when running in UTF-8 locales.
>>>> I do not yet understand scripting, but I checked the script and the above mentioned lines are there.
Maybe you are not using the SuSE package for Acroread?
>>>I do not yet understand the process of adding software to a Linux system well enough to even consider using something that is not from the official distribution.
If you are not using the SuSE package, your start script probably doesn't set LANG and LC_NUMERIC. By the way, it may be better to use the m17n mailing list for such questions: http://www.suse.de/~mfabian/mailing-list.html -- Mike Fabian <mfabian@suse.de> http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。

Yes. Welcome!

I am running in ja_JP.UTF-8 locale always and didn't notice any problems. There are many locales where Acroread itself has problems and doesn't work correctly. but the script used to start Acroread uses LANG=en_US and LC_NUMERIC=POSIX:
LANG="en_US" export LANG LC_NUMERIC=POSIX export LC_NUMERIC
(see /usr/X11R6/bin/acroread). Therefore one doesn't notice any problems even when running in UTF-8 locales.
The problem is that this script does not change LC_CTYPE but leaves it as it is, zh_TW.UTF-8 in your case. It can be fixed by setting LC_CTYPE to POSIX as well, i.e. replace the above 4 lines by: LANG="en_US" export LANG LC_CTYPE=POSIX export LC_CTYPE LC_NUMERIC=POSIX export LC_NUMERIC Or copy the attached script to /usr/X11R6/bin/acroread. #!/bin/sh # ver=5.0.7 install_dir=/usr/X11R6/lib/Acrobat5/Reader # # Prepend a colon separated environment variable # $1 string to be prepended # $2 environment variable # prepend() { if [ -z "$2" -o "$2" = "$1" ] ; then echo "$1" else first="`expr "$2" : '\([^:]*\):'`" if [ "$first" = "$1" ] ; then echo "$2" else echo "${1}:${2}" fi fi } # # Tests the version file in an installation directory. # test_install_dir() { if [ "$1" -a -f "$1/AcroVersion" ] \ && [ "`cat $1/AcroVersion 2>/dev/null`" = "$ver" ] ; then return 0 else return 1 fi } # # Get the current working directory. # Try to avoid automounter directories by checking # if $HOME or $PWD is the same directory as pwd, # and removing the automount directory component. # cwd="`pwd 2> /dev/null`" if [ -z "$cwd" -o !

[...] I just added a similar workaround as for Acroread to the Netscape 4.x package for SuSE Linux 9.0. See http://www.suse.de/~mfabian/suse-cjk/netscape4.html if you encounter problems when trying to run Netscape 4.x in UTF-8 locales. -- Mike Fabian <mfabian@suse.de> http://www.suse.de/~mfabian 睡眠不足はいい仕事の敵だ。
