  There are two issues I'd like to resolve. The first is quite minor, but
the second keeps me from using AbiWord as my administrative writing tool.
I've read all the docs and FAQs I found on the Web site without seeing any
answers, so I'd appreciate some pointers. I've installed abiword-1.0.3-1 on
my Red Hat 7.3 systems (2.4.19 kernel).

  First: I cannot invoke AbiWord without the splash screen or font warning,
despite turning them off in the preferences dialog box. Sometimes, over
lunch, I'll play with it a few times, but like the magician's candle that
cannot be extinguished, there they are the next time I fire it up. What
might I be doing improperly?

  Second: How do I add fonts to the AbiWord stable? I have several Type1
(postscript) fonts installed that I use for business correspondence. One
typeface, Baker Signet, is our company logotype and is on the letterhead.
I'd like to add this typeface and a half-dozen others so they're visible and
selectable. What do I read that tells me how to add fonts?

Thanks,

Rich

If you have heavily customized Abiword this will be painful, but delete ~/.Abisuite/AbiWord.profile for solving the unchanged settings. Someone might have a more elegant solution, but recreating the config file should fix it if it is a corrupted file problem.

For the fonts issue: http://www.abisource.com/help/en-US/problems/problemsfonts.html#adding_removing
I have had mixed results with this in the past.
