I think abiword is not able to use your ttf fonts because they have an uppercase extension (I just fixed this problem with my xft patch, but I think that there is a second assumption like this one in the code that I've not yet fixed). something as: for i in *.TTF; do mv $i `echo $i | sed -e 's/\.TTF/.ttf/g'`; done should do the work (the script is untested, so do a copy of your fonts before executing it!).
