>Description:

	set in your environment:

		LANG=da_DK.ISO_8859-1

	Then use the acroread-4.05 port to print to a postscript file
	and notice how all decimal numbers are separated with a ',' 
	instead of a '.'

	This is not valid in postscript code.

	LANG=da_DK.ISO_8859-1 results in:

		dup /WhitePoint [0,9642 1,0000 0,8249] put]

	no LANG setting results in the correct:

		dup /WhitePoint [0.9642 1.0000 0.8249] put]

	I am unable to determine if this bug is in acroread or in
	our i18n.  Given what is the easier to get changed I think
	it obvious where the problem should be fixed.

	It used to work until very recently.

	see above.
