Hi! acroread 4.05-6 has problems with the extraction of fonts embedded in pdf documents when running in a German locale environment (i.e. LANG=de_DE and probably others, too). The pop-up error message is "Unable to extract embedded font [foobar]". Fix: Reset the locale environment for the acrobat process by setting it to "C" : --- /usr/bin/acroread.originalrh70 Wed Nov 15 22:45:49 2000 +++ /usr/bin/acroread Wed Nov 15 22:46:41 2000 @@ -1,6 +1,7 @@ #!/bin/sh # +export LANG=C +export LC_ALL=C ver=4.0 install_dir=/usr/lib/acroread/Reader bye, Karsten BTW: I was told that the German default installation of Red Hat 7.0 (I did an upgrade myself) does set LC_ALL in /etc/sysconfig/i18n, too. IMHO this is unnecessary and rather causes problems. Setting LANG=de_DE is enough to have correct German locale support.
i can't reproduce it on my local machine. Could you please attach me a pdf file, which causes this problem
in dist-7.1 we moved acroread from powertools to application CD, and so we don't support it anymore.
