Does anyone know if / where is the Asian Fonts Pack for Reader 9.3.2. I'm using Reader on Ubuntu 10.04 but it cannot read Japanese fonts. Any japanese document I open comes up blank.

Cheers

BB

Specifically for: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Check in Synaptic that the 'partner' software repository is enabled.

At terminal type:

(if required) update your system

~:   sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade  <Enter>

install latest Acrobat Reader (for Ubuntu Linux), AND font packs

~:   sudo apt-get install acroread acroread-fonts  <Enter>

Then look for Adobe Reader in the applications menu (top left of screen).

Hi Mayank,  Thanks for the tip. Alas, I downloaded the font back but it was for Adobe Reader 9.1 and although it seemed to install, (by running the install file through terminal), it said that it was designed for Reader 9.1, and actually I still cannot read japanese fonts in reader. Is there a font pack for Reader 9.3.2? Why is it so difficult to find anything in the Adobe website. It seems there are no links to anything to allow browsing.  Regards, BB

Downloaded the file to the Desktop, made the folder. At step 3 ran into problems. Think there is an unpack command missing. This was my terminal readout

jvc@CF1:~$ sudo /home/jvc/Desktop/AdbeRdr9.3.2-1_i486linux_enu.bin
sudo: /home/jvc/Desktop/AdbeRdr9.3.2-1_i486linux_enu.bin: command not found


Try: chmod +x /home/jvc/Desktop/AdbeRdr9.3.2-1_i486linux_enu.bin

And then follow the commands posted.

Pls. make sure that AdbeRdr9.3.2-1_i486linux_enu.bin is present on Desktop.
