This problem arose from the way the fonts were set under KDE. I have no idea where the system decided to use the Japanese character set, but I found it under my Konsole font settings. This, along with the fact that Acroread would run in English if I logged as root, but gave and error message "Warning: charset of fontList (ISO8859-15) does not match locale (ISO8859-1)" was my clue that something somewhere in the KDE settings were awry. Using the Control Center, I tried resetting everything to the default. This did not work, but after I reset the Look & Feel -> fonts to default and then changed the character set to iso8859-1, and Look & Feel -> Style -> Apply fonts and colors to non-KDE apps, it apparently cleared something and Acrobat works as it should. BTW, I do not use anti-aliasing.
