I found this to be quite informative: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2001/debian-devel-200109/msg01570.html
My best fix so far has been to wipe any ISO10646 font files that also come in an ISO8859 version by doing this: # delete the files listed here... find /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts \ | grep ISO8859-1 | egrep '/misc|(75|100)dpi/' \ | sed -e 's/-ISO8859-1//' | while read f; do [ ! -f $f ] && continue zcat $f | grep -q ISO10646 && echo $f done # refresh... for fdir in misc 75dpi 100dpi ; do update-fonts-dir $fdir done It fixes my app. I have not found any broken apps yet... - Tor On Tue, Sep 02, 2003 at 04:51:15PM -0000, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I think I have a related problem. > > Invoking acroread on my (woody) laptop, I get an error message > "Warning: charset of fontList (ISO10646-1) does not match locale (ISO8859-1)." > Acroread displays little dotted boxes instead of characters in > its menu bar. > But if I use ssh -X to log into the laptop from my (woody) desktop, > the laptop is able to correctly run acroread on the desktop's display. > > Interestingly, /etc/locale.gen on the desktop (acroread OK) is empty > except for comments. /etc/locale.gen on the laptop (acroread broken) > contains two lines: > en_US ISO-8859-1 > en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 > > So it appears "locales" is not compatible with acroread for > some reason.
