I think there's an installation problem with the Linux version of Acroreader 5.0.5, in as much as it seems to install by default the Chinese or Japanese version when I call it up. Here's the error messages: 

Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-fixed-medium-i-normal-*-*-120-72-72-*-*-*-*" to type FontStruct Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-fixed-*-i-*-*-*-120-72-72-*-*-*-*" to type FontStruct Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-helvetica-medium-i-*-*-*-120-72-72-*-*-*-*" to type FontStruct Warning: charset of fontList (JISX0208.1983-0) does not match locale (ISO8859-1). 

This problem occurs with both the version downloaded from the web site and the ftp site. 

So what do I do, other than learn Chinese/Japanese?
