Adobe Acroread default installs is in Chinese

[bof]

OK, I tried the 7.3 .rpm version, although it is for Acroread 4.05, and 
had the same problem: it comes up in Japanese.

The problem does not occur with Slackware 8.0. BTW, as I tried the 5.0.5 
installation there.

So it's got to be something somewhere in the font environment, but I've 
looked at every file in the Acrobat directory and do not see anything 
that has squat to do with fonts.
