Acroread, Character Encoding Problems, and plug-in setup

I'm running RH 8, kernel 2.4.18-14. To get Acroread 5.0.6 working, I've used a script in /usr/local/bin to declare the LANG variable, like so:

Code:

#!/bin/bash

LANG=C /usr/local/Acrobat5/bin/acroread

However, to use the reader within Mozilla via a plugin, I have resorted to a ver 4 reader, because the ver 5 yields a blank frame in Mozilla-- I assume because of the character encoding error that the /usr/local/Acrobat5/bin/acroread throws.

Has anyone come up with a solution?

Cheers!
