    Esteemed Abiword helper person:

    I am running Red Hat Linux 7.1.

    A few days ago I downloaded and installed the following rpm's:

         abiword-gtk-bidi-1.0.3-1.i386.rpm
         abiword-fonts-1.0.3-1.noarch.rpm
         abiword-clipart-1.0.3-1.noarch.rpm

    When I invoked abiword the following message was displayed:

    "Abiword was not able to add its fonts to the X font path.
    This does not mean that there is anything wrong with your
    system, but you will need to modify your font path manually.
    Please see "Unix Font Path Problem" in FAQ section of
    the Abiword help file for more detailed information, including
    instructions on how to turn off this warning."

    I disabled the warning per instructions in the FAQ's.

    My problem is this: Often when I invoke the spellchecker weird and
    unintelligible fonts are displayed in the dialog windows. The spell checker
    does work in that clicking on "Change" will correct the misspelled word to a
    correctly spelled word (sometimes the word that's wanted or to another word if
    there are several unintelligible options). Also typing a word into the
    "Change to:" field works. If the spell checker works initially the display
    becomes unintelligible when the first word is corrected and the spell checker
    remains broken to the end of the abiword session.

    Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Thanx
