Can someone please tell me what this means and how to fix it
Warning: charset “UTF-8” not supported, using “ISO8859-1”.
I assume you're running RH8 or 9?
As root, edit the acroread script(it's actually just a script, not an executable) and add:
LANG=en_US
export LANG
near the beginning of it. Don't use xpdf(bleh )
One of the joys of using RH greater than v7… :twisted:

Usually your desktop handles all of this under file associations. For instance, in KDE 3(which I'm running) I go under:
Preferences/File Browsing/File Associations
and look under “text” and then “pdf” and there's good ol' acroread. You could change that to whatever you want. I'm fairly certain Houdini will respect that since I've never notified Houdini over this issue and acroread isn't the default pdf reader - I had to set that up in KDE.
Gnome sets things up in a similar fashion.
I'm unsure(and doubtful) that there's a Houdini-specific setting for this. Possibly it would be mozilla-associated(since it's a porta-mozilla engine they're using). The desktop-wide setting is usually fine for most…
