[ale] Display/Print PDF which contains double byte (Japanese) Characters under Gnome

[Thompson Freeman]

Well, as a dodge, I went and got the Adobe viewer and the  
Japanese char set and forgot to work on getting my native  
stuff working. I'll be looking around for the rpms for the  
kanji char set, which I forgot about entirely.

Thanks for the nudge!
