I don't run FC, but it seems that this ought to work. You may want to
try backing up then deleting your ~/.AbiSuite2 directory, as settings
and custom dictionaries are stored there, and it's possible something
got goofed up.

In the future, make sure you start a new email to the list if you have a
question - I know that in at least my mail program, your email shows up
as a reply to "Printing: Error:..." which may make it less likely that
people see your question.
