I've no idea if this will help, but it may.

Distribution General Notes
o Red Hat Linux now installs using UTF-8 (Unicode) locales by default
in languages other than Chinese, Japanese, or Korean.
This has been known to cause various issues:
. Line drawing characters in applications such as make menuconfig do
not always appear correctly in certain locales.
. On the console, the latarcyrheb-sun16 font is used for best Unicode
coverage. Due to the use of this font, bold colors are not
available.
. Certain third party applications, such as the Adobe(R) Acrobat
Reader(R), 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
