Peace!
I want to know how may I add a font to my RH 9.0? It is easy on mandrake, but not on RedHat 9.0!
It is because I have installed adobe reader to my RH 9.0 and when initiating it, it said, charset UTF-8 is not supported and tried to use another font, what should I do?

Hello,
Problem of adobe is not about the fonts. It's about this utf-8 or LANG.
To run acrobat reader from the shell:
export LANG=""
/usr/local/Acrobat5/bin/acroread &
Regarding the font installation on Redhat, there is two font subsystms. Fontconfig, and xfs. xfs ~ 15 years old, and is planned to be replaced by Fontconfig.
Anyway, to configure fonts for Fontconfig:
fc-cache font-path
Individual users may also install fonts graphically, by browsing to fonts:/// in Nautilus, and dragging the new font files there.
adding font for xfs requires more steps:
mkdir /usr/share/fonts/local/
mkfontdir /usr/share/fonts/local/
chkfontpath --add /usr/share/fonts/local/
ttmkfdir -d /usr/share/fonts/local/ -o /usr/share/fonts/local/fonts.scale
service xfs reload
acrobat??
why would anyone use acrobat reader instead of Xpdf or GhostView??
both never gave me trouble with arabic PDFs

Yes,You are right! I myself use kghostview more than you may immagine!!! All my papers, my work and my everything is written in Latex, then I convert it to either PDF or PS :) But one should know about other alternatives in case he may need them. Also, how would this question of fonts have ocured to me without a try. Last, People have different tastes :)

Arabic fonts - gv, ghostview, adobe etc
I am having trouble in reading some pdf files that contain both Arabic and English. The readers complain I do not have the font TraditionalArabic (it is written that way).
I downloaded and installed fonts from everywhere all supposed to have this font but still no joy. Where should the fonts go? What is a font package for this font?
Thanks
