Hello!
I first of all must say that I perfectly agree whith Stracchino's view: 
though he's called like a northern Italian cheese, he shows more reason than 
most of us.

My point is that (take it as a subjective impression from a newbie) Abiword 
has a basic bug, which it shares with other gnome applications (notably 
Gnumeric): it is too strict in its behaviour.
I'm experiencing it with its font requirement while initializing (do you 
know, the old "Times New Roman....") - but I'll write widely about the font 
topic only when I have tried all the solutions I can think of.

Am I simply wrong?
I'd like to know what you think about it.

Ciao,
Francesco Tomba
