Here was my initial reaction to this: I was, like, majorlly ticked off. I felt like writing cuss words in big caps and posting it to the mailing list. I felt like flaming Bryce to a crisp and giving Bryce an "ano nuevo". However, civility has, hopefully, gotten hold of me and I, hopefully, will not do my own miniature version of the kind of idiocy that is going on in the middle east, where innocent people are being killed and innocent people are locked in their homes without food, water, or heating for no particular good reason. I have done a web search for Bryce Nesbitt on Google; it seems that he has a pattern of getting really attached to certain bugs that open source software has, and sometimes making a nusiance of himself over the bugs in question. I hate saying this, but Google paints a portrait of Bryce being someone who has not contributed much besides bug reports which he gets rather zealous about. To his defense, he has contributed some patches for AbiWord which minimize the impace of this particular bug. Keep in mind: * This bug does not affect anything if people have other Arial, Helevetica, etc. fonts installed. * The AbiWord fonts are in the font path only when AbiWord is running; when it is not running, the AbiWord fonts are not added. I had a much longer rant; which I have now deleted. I do respect Bryce for posting his opinions using his real name. I really think there should be a rule that people use their real name when posting to the internet unless there is a compelling reason to be anonymous. - Sam _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
