    Well! I have my ttf fonts with my 0.99.3 AbiWord version !...
    In spite of my bad english I was (correctly understood and) powerfully
    helped by Anne Parker and Gabe de Jong, and they gave me the com-
    plete solution. If I sum up that solution, we will have :
    In order to substitute the Windows-ttf fonts to original AW fonts,
    there are some things to do in a definite order :

    1) Verify you have "ttftool and "ttfadmin.sh" in the AW binary principal directory
        (for me it is : "/usr/local/bin") where is the wrapper "abiword", else, find them
        to place here.
    2) go to folder where is directory "fonts" (the AbiWord fonts dir).
    3) create a new dir "SVGFontsType1"
    4) cut-paste all fonts from dir "fonts" to dir "SVGFontsType1"
    5) copy-paste the ".../windows/system/fonts" to dir "fonts"
    6) in a console, as "root", run the commands :
    ...../fonts# ttmkfdir -o fonts.scale
    ...../fonts# mkfontdir
         (to obtain here the both files : fonts.scale and fonts.dir)
    7) return to binary AbiWord dir, where is (important) "ttftool" to execute:
    ...../bin# ttfadmin.sh /usr/local/share/AbiSuite/fonts

    ...and it is finished. When you will lauch AbiWord you will have all the good
    ttf fonts used byu Windows...

    Extra!!!
    Many thanks to Anne and Gabe.
