Actually, I patched that a long time ago. It's a real hack, but effective.
The foundary is now "zz_AbiWord", so it sorts after Adobe.
The bigger problem is with false font names. AbiWord distributes
Nimbus Mono, for example, calling it Courier. I have never read a
justification for this behavior, just a statement that it's "not a priority
to fix".
