Thanks for the quick reply.
On " which acroread " command the following is displayed.
/sbin/acroread
I checked /sbin/acroread file it was a shell script. Not an exicutable. Then I renamed that file to acroread1 and create a soft link to the exicutable I mentioned earlier in /sbin.
ln -s /usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/bin/acroread /sbin/acroread
Then I typed acroread command but the error returned was same.
Can I use aliases. Some thing like
alias acroread= .//usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/bin/acroread
I am not sure about the syntax. But will this help?

extract_font_range(3alleg4) Allegro manual extract_font_range(3alleg4)
NAME
extract_font_range - Extracts a range of characters from a font. Allegro game programming library.
SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h>
FONT *extract_font_range(FONT *f, int begin, int end)
DESCRIPTION
This function extracts a character range from a font and returns a new font that contains only the range of characters selected by this
function. You can pass -1 for either the lower or upper bound if you want to select all characters from the start or to the end of the
font. Example:
FONT *myfont;
FONT *capitals;
FONT *fontcopy;
...
/* Create a font of only capital letters */
capitals = extract_font_range(myfont, 'A', 'Z');
/* Create a copy of the font */
fontcopy = extract_font_range(myfont, -1, -1);
...
destroy_font(capitals);
destroy_font(fontcopy);
RETURN VALUE
Returns a pointer to the new font or NULL on error. Remember that you are responsible for destroying the font when you are finished with it
to avoid memory leaks.
