Tomas,
Sounds like this means that TrueType and Type 1 fonts now have equal status
in the Linux versions of AbiWord. That's awesome! :-)
Just for grins, I'd like to ask the obvious followup question -- is there
any reasonable way to automate the creation of fonts.dir entries, too? It'd
be too cool if the process for installing new fonts was this simple:
1. Drop it (or a symlink) in the fonts directory.
2. Relaunch AbiWord.
3. Your new font Just Works.
Oh, they call me a dreamer now ...
Paul,
