I checked here ( http://www.abiword.com/support/faq/ ) and found a "solution".
- "AbiWord could not load [-*-Times New Roman-...]"
- If you recieve the message "AbiWord could not load the following font or fontset from the X Window System display server, [-*-Times New Roman-regular-r-*-*-*-0-*-*-*-*-*-*]" or something similar try the following, add the line load "type1" to your /etc/X11/XF86Config or XF86Config-4 file. (You will need to do this as root.)
- You may also want to try the following command if you still have
problems
/usr/sbin/chkfontpath -a /usr/share/AbiSuite/fonts. Again, you will need to do this as root. Check the AbiSuite directory path as it may have been changed by the packager depending of the distribution.
Unfortunately, the directions are a little too vague for this newbie Linux user.
How exactly would I go about entering the line: load "type1" into the Xf86Config file? It would be extremely helpful if there were a link to a step-by-step example of how this may be done.
Thank you.
