Haven't seen this on SuSE in the testing phase... Are you running in a
non-English locale by any chance? 

That type of error usually means that you are missing 75 dpi fonts or
100 dpi fonts in the standard Adobe set. However, if it isn't
happening in 2.0.1, I'd suspect that UTF8 codes and/or natural
language support is somehow involved.
