Hello,

Problem of adobe is not about the fonts. It's about this utf-8 or LANG.

To run acrobat reader from the shell:

export LANG=""

/usr/local/Acrobat5/bin/acroread &

Regarding the font installation on Redhat, there is two font subsystms. Fontconfig, and xfs. xfs ~ 15 years old, and is planned to be replaced by Fontconfig.

Anyway, to configure fonts for Fontconfig:

fc-cache font-path

Individual users may also install fonts graphically, by browsing to fonts:/// in Nautilus, and dragging the new font files there.

adding font for xfs requires more steps:

mkdir /usr/share/fonts/local/

mkfontdir /usr/share/fonts/local/

chkfontpath --add /usr/share/fonts/local/

ttmkfdir -d /usr/share/fonts/local/ -o /usr/share/fonts/local/fonts.scale

service xfs reload
