I ended up with ximian everything except abiword itself. For abiword, I used the Redhat 7.1 version not marked as ximian because the ximian version wanted libgal.so.13 even though I had 14 installed. Once I put the fots dir into the config file using chkfontpath, abiword started without complaint. I haven't yet used the new version since I installed it yesterday, so I don't know whether yet another problem exists. I just hope that Redhat 7.1 version cooperates with the Redhat 7.2/ximian version libraries. Thanks for your help.
