Negative, at least I think so. It happens both on
Linux and Windows, both with files created on my
Polish Linux machine at home and German Linux machine
at work. I just created a new one-field-form on my
German machine, LANG=de_DE.ISO-8859-1 and with only
one font, Luxi Sans Medium. The attached file contains
this Scribus file, a Scribus-made PDF and the same PDF
form processed in Acrobat (the same procedure as
described in my previous mail). This behaviour can be
reproduced.

I do not think, it has something to do with some
unusual glyphs, as the only glyphs I use in this form
are "bla bla". But let's proove the pudding: Could you
produce on your machine such a simple form with only
one field, set its value in the same way and see, if
it works for you in Acrobat Reader?   

best regards
Maciej
