Installing AbiWord from RPMS obtained from Ximian
(abiword-0.9.6.1-ximian.1.i386.rpm and
abiword-0.9.6.1-ximian.2.i386.rpm) or www.abisource.com
(abiword-fonts-0.9.6.1-1.i386.rpm and abiword-gnome-0.9.6.1-1.i386.rpm)
works, but no fonts are found upon loading the application. AbiWord
give the error message: "AbiWord could not load the following font or
fontsef from the X Window System display server: [-*-Times New
Roman-regular-r-*-*-*-0-*-*-*-*-*-*]" twice before crashing. The RPMS
do not seem to be adding the path of the AbiSuite fonts to the
/etc/X11/fs/config file either. The RPM for the fonts or app should be
adding the appropriate path in this file before executing
/etc/init.d/xfs restart so the fonts may be found via xfs. Sadly, doing
this manually doesn't help. This is what happens:
[root@Tabernale]# /etc/init.d/xfs restart
Restarting xfs: chmod: getting attributes of `fonts.dir': No such file
or directory
[ OK ]
[root@Tabernale]#
Attempting to launch AbiWord after this gives the following error
dialog: "AbiWord could not find any local font files in its font path.
Often this the the result of invoking AbiWord directly instead of
through its wrapper shell script. The script sets the environment
variable $ABISUITE_HOME which should point to the directory where
AbiSuite components reside. The current font path contains the
following directories: [/usr/share/AbiSuite/fonts] Please visit
http://www.abisource.com ..."
Manually making the fonts.dir doesn't work either:
[root@Tabernale fonts]# mkfontdir
mkfontdir: bad format for ./fonts.scale file
mkfontdir: failed to create directory in .
[root@Tabernale fonts]#
Trying to use valid TrueType fonts following the instructions on the
Abisuite.com site doesn't work either and oddly gives the same errors as
an attempt to use the provided AbiSuite fonts. It's obvious AbiWord's
font problems are bad. I've had similar problems many times in the past
(in much older versions) but it was always fixable. I have to say the
fonts are the only pressing issue keeping me from using AbiWord more
often.
All RPMS of 0.9.6 have this problem on my system. I'm running Red Hat
7.2 with XFree 4.2.0 and the latest Ximian Gnome. I have
abiword-fonts-0.9.6.1-1 and abiword-0.9.6.1-1 from the AbiSource page
installed right now.
Here is a full listing of the fonts AbiWord installs:
