being dissatified w/ the quality of the GNU pdf viewers included w/ my distro (RedHat 8.0) i decided to download the "real deal" and get the Acrobat pdf reader from www.adobe.com unix version 5.0.6 but whenever i try to run /bin/acroread i get the following message:

"Warning: charset "UTF-8" not supported, using "ISO8859-1".
Aborted"



and the program aborts... is ther anything i can do work around it?

You don't have Unicode support available - perhpas there's some way to tell it not to try?

Which PDF viewer? Ghostscript or xpdf? I found them both very good, and in many cases better than Acrobat.

i tried both (they came w/ the distro) and they are so ugly and i'm just so used to acrobat...

that means i have no unicode support... thats funny... you'd think that since its the newest REdHat it'd have it.. unless of course i'd something "brilliant" and unistalled it... how can i get it (back?)?
