Hi,
Yeah, someone asked about this sometime ago, and this is the reply I sent.
Try the following:
Login as root, and type this in terminal:
bash$> /usr/sbin/chkfontpath -q -a /usr/share/AbiSuite/fonts
If your AbiSuite directory is not at that path, change it. I use RH 7.1, and
that solve the same problem for me.
I'm not sure if this will work in Debian, but give it a shot anyway.
Check also the FAQ from www.abisource.com. I think this problem is discussed
there also.
Hope that helps
