sure, if anyone wants me to move this discussion off the list... don't
hesitate to ask... i've been told off before for moving things off the
list and now i wait until somebody asks...
what i do with a fresh install of Abiword.. is clear the font directory,
and make symlinks from my ghostscript fonts to that directory, then i
make symlinks from my X TTF folder to the abiword folder. then i delete
fonts.* and run ttmkfdir then mkfontdir. granted i dont have all lower
case... does nayoen have a script for doing that? the fonts all work
fine under the X font server. oh and i also add the AbiWord fonts dir
into the X font server list and restart X and the font server.... but i
always get an error about cour.afm font... which is not surprising as
the ttf one does not end with afm, but is called "Arial.TTF"
cheers,
Sam
