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. Can I safely remove and purge "locales"? Will it make any difference? Is "fontList" documented somewhere? Google shows http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2002/debian-user-200203/msg01994.html same question, went unanswered. I went "upstream" and got http://download.adobe.com/ pub/adobe/acrobatreader/unix/5.x/linux-507.tar.gz and it's got the same problem.
