Asian and Extended Language Font Packs for Adobe Reader

There are several additional Font Packs available for Adobe Reader so you can
display and interact with documents authored in languages other than those
supported in your native Adobe Reader. They fall in to 2 different categories.

Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Japanese and Korean Font Packs:
They are needed to correctly display a document when an author does not embed
the appropriate font in to the document. They are also needed when the author
does embed the font, but the reader of the document wishes to interact in some
way with its content ? e.g. collaborating, commenting or filling out forms.

Extended Language Font Pack:
This Font Pack covers Hebrew, Arabic, Thai, Vietnamese as well as the Eastern
and Central European languages (including Cyrillic and Greek scripts).
Documents in these languages always have their fonts embedded. Therefore,
similar to the previous case, this Font Pack is needed only if the reader of
the document wishes to interact in some way with its content - e.g.
collaborating, commenting or filling out forms.

The Slackbuild can be built with only one of the fontpacks but will include
all of them if they are available in the directory.

adobe-reader is not "required" to build this package but the package will be
completely useless without it.:-)
