Hi Much to my embressment its turned out that this non-display of menu text was caused by me inadvertly setting the desktop font in my XFce setup dialog window to: -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-p-*-iso10646-1 when it should have been -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-p-*-iso8859-2 Needless to say when this problem happened I charged off thinking the solution would involve the hand editing of a cryptic config file in some obscure corner of my Debian system. When in fact the solution was literally sitting in front of me on my desktop. Anyway lesson learn't for next time (hopefully) and thanks for the advice and suggestions. Further to the comments wondering why I was using arcoread considering the recent legal behavior of Adobe (looking at the above I probably should stop using their fonts). Unfortunately part of my work is checking pdfs created by Adobe distiller to be principally viewed using Adobe Acrobat reader. This involves checking the bookmark tree and the thumbnail images which I understand can not be viewed on any current Linux pdf viewer. If and when a viewer became available with these features (Xpdf looks encouraging) I would be only too happy to change. James -- Personalised email by http://another.com
