This is a unicode issue, it is not yet completely supported in all applications. By default, RH8 installs UTF8. One option is the change the system locale to an ISO set.
I read the Red Hat release notes, which give a better solution than changing the entire system locale: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/release-notes/x86/ "Certain third party applications, such as the Adobe� Acrobat Reader�, may not function correctly (or crash upon startup) because they lack support for Unicode locales. Until third party developers provide such support in their products, you may work around this issue by setting the LANG environment variable at the shell prompt to C prior to typing the application name. For example: env LANG=C acroread" I tried this on Abiword, and it does the trick. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Carla Schroder Bratgrrl Computing www.bratgrrl.com This message brought to you by Red Hat 8 and Kmail ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ----------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
