    i tried to cut down on some disk space by runnign symbolic links form my
    normal paths the the abisuite fonts path... then i ran mkfontdir to
    generate fonts.dir... but on abiword startup i get this error;;
    AbiWord found no actual font data files ('*.pfa','*.afm') in
    the font path even though i found [1] font index file ('fonts.dir')

    is it possible to set up AbiWord to run symbolicly linked fonts instead
    of it's own? i woudl like just run the ghostscript fonts from abiword,
    so i knwo i will always have all the fonts i use when i print to a PS
    printer. and also, i hate repetition of fonts in a computer, and X is
    _REALLY_ bad at that!

    thanks in advance!
    Sam
