---Reply to mail from Martin Sevior about Abi ttf-fonts path Hi,
It sounds extra for ISO-8859-1 fonts only! On my RedHat7.2 with abiword-0.99.3-1.i386.rpm or *.tar.gz (I tried bothe) and polish LANG="pl_PL" env with type1 or ttf-fonts iso8859-2 enconding, the AW does refuse to find them. The path to fonts is exactly as here or in the documentation is said [/usr/share/AbiSuite/fonts/pl_PL (also .../pl_PL.ISO-8859-2) in first case, and /usr/local/AbiSuite/fonts/pl_PL (also ../pl_PL.ISO-8859-2) in a second case]. With ttf-fonts path I've got "fonts.scale" and "fonts.dir" with ttmkfdir followed by tools "ttftool" and "ttfadmin.sh" found in AbiSuite/bin directory. I also removed lines in "fonts.dir" and "fonts.scale" files with other encodings except iso8859-2 which I left untouched. Dispite of that AW could not see new fonts dir. Must say, I am realy exhausted. I could not find a way to make AW to use ISO-8859-2 fonts. Best, Bronek > > Hi Bernard, > Thank you very much.
