Well, we are volunteers. We try to help out where we can, but we just
don't always have the time, ambition, or energy to always answer every
question. This and more is outlined in:

Well, we developers have been busy, and we've actually gotten fonts on
unix working via XFT/FontConfig. This fixed bug 1030 and a host of
others, including your TTF bug. No longer do you need to specially setup
AbiWord to handle fonts, it "just works."
So, if you have the time and energy, I suggest you check out our CVS
version and ./configure --enable-xft. If not, I can only suggest quiet
patience or fixing the soon-to-be-outdated documentation.
