AbiWord _does not_ rewrite the fonts.dir file, we only read from it. 
My guess is that for some reason when you start AW, your X 
server executes mkfontdir which creates the new fonts.dir file. 
Because mkfontdir cannot handle pfa fonts, it will remove all the pfa 
entries from the fonts.dir file. What you have to do is to create a 
fonts.scale file which is identical to the AW fonts.dir file. Then 
when mkfontdir is executed, it will paste the contents of fonts.scale 
to the fonts.dir file it creates. Hope this helps.

Tomas
