Using AbiWord 0.99.2 on KDE 2.2.2 on Qt 2.3 on XFree86 4.x on FreeBSD 4.5 What I can do is write/display Hebrew etc. text in KWord by going to and setting settings:configure:encoding to UTF8 or similar. Success by using any of four compatible TrueTypeFonts (arial, courier new, times new roman, bitstream cyberbit). But AbiWord can't display anything other than Latin1 glyphs. I can point AbiWord at my normal TrueType directory & it lists the fonts, but can only display the latin1 glyphs, except for bitstream cyberbit, which it can't display any glyphs from. Any ideas?
