    AbiWord _does_ support GB2312. However, do not try to use ttftool;
    you'll have to create your own /usr/share/AbiSuite/fonts/zh-CN/fonts.dir .
    This file is already created for you if you use:

            Debian GNU/Linux (pre-3.0)
            Red Hat Linux 7.3
            Thiz Linux Desktop 5.0 or 6.0 (即时 Linux 桌面系统)
            and maybe for Mandrake 8.2 too. I'm not sure. :-)

    You may be able to find a working AbiWord 0.99.* or 1.0.1 RPM package
    by Mandrake or CLE (Chinese GNU/Linux Extension Project) developers.
    If not, you may have to make your own fonts/zh-CN/fonts.dir.
    If so, try this:

    http://people.debian.org/~ygh/zh_CN/html/noframes/node5.html#SECTION00056000000000000000

    The actual font names may be slightly different, but the concept is the
    same. :-)

    Hope this helps,
