    Good suggestion, and sorry to as what appears to have been asked before.
    This did get me past the errors.

    I then added the AbiWord font directory to /etc/X11/XF86Config, and that
    took care of the font problems.

    I'm still getting a *lot* of crashes, though. They seem to be triggered
    very frequently by deleting text and then inserting a page break, or by
    making changes to a stylesheet and then clicking "OK" to close the main style
    dialog.

    Given that I just upgraded from an older version, is there anything to gain
    by exporting my AbiWord document to another file format, then re-importing it
    to get AbiWord to regenerate the file effectively from scratch?

    Thanks for such a quick response to my question -- and on a weekend, yet.

    AbiWord looks great, and I'm really impressed that it can export DocBook
    format, which I need to do when this document is finished. If I can get the
    reliability to improve, this will be a winning app for me.

    Kind regards,

    Scott
