 AbiWord has, understandably, been abandoned by the
 Mandrake packagers because of its insufferable font
 problems.  I've been reading AWN and it seems like a
 lot of work has gone into fixing this, if it ever gets
 completely solved, I'm sure it'll be accepted back
 into main.  In the meantime, you or anybody is free to
 make an updated package of it and send it to Lenny,
 and he'll most likely upload it when he gets back from
 vacation (2 weeks from now if I remember right).

Sounds sensible. Current CVS AbiWord can apparently use Xft, though I
think you need CVS Xft too, so i've not tried it out. This is apparently
going to be their solution to the fonts problem, and it sounds good to
me.

[Cooker] abiword requires kde

2002-08-03 Thread Adam Williamson 

Heh...I installed 9.0 b2 without KDE on my laptop, since I never use
it...tried to install abiword from contrib, it depends on expat which
depends on KDE. surely installing a GNOME word processor on a GNOME
machine shouldn't require KDE? =). I just installed with nodeps and it
seems to work OK.

The abiword package is still 1.0.0, too, even though 1.0.2 is out, looks
like it needs updating.
