So let's tell everyone a better way: alias acroread='LANG=pt_BR.ISO8859-1 acroread' Of course, change "pt_BR" for your locale code. You could also use alias acroread='LANG=C acroread' But you won't be abble to type accented characters for portuguese, french, ... But I prefer to put the above statements on a shell script because bash aliases won't be used from desktop icons. []s, Fernando Lozano
