To those whose fonts.dir file has been trampled...

The trouble is that the xfs startup script runs mkfontdir in the
abiword directory, which fails because (for whatever reason) it
needs a fonts.scale file; when it fails it thrashes fonts.dir.

The solution:
  Install the RPM (Or --force reinstall it if fonts.dir has been truncated)
  cp /usr/share/abisuite/fonts/fonts.dir /usr/share/abisuite/fonts/fonts.scale
  chkfontpath --add /usr/share/abisuite/fonts

(The new item here is copying fonts.dir to fonts.scale.)

I don't really know why or how this works, and it's not a long-term
solution.  But it works for now.  I didn't need this before, because
I never saw my fonts.dir file get trashed until just recently when
I rebooted, which I rarely do.
