Hello! I would appreciate some help with this. I can't start AbiWord. I guess it has something to do with environment or search paths, but I'm not really good at this. At the moment, I have uninstall and then reinstall Abi each time I want to start it. After that it works till I reboot. Then it's the same again.
Andy This is the previous message: ----------------------------- First time I start Abi I only get the "could not add it's typefaces to the X font path". That's all, I just have to press OK and everything works OK from then. However I do indeed have the > load "type1" < string included in the /etc/X11/XF86config-4 file. I run the I run the command $ /usr/sbin/chkfontpath -a /usr/share/AbiSuite/fonts and it says something like "it's already there". After reboot though, when starting AbiWord I get the message: "could not find any local fonts files in the font path". Then it says I should start Abi through a script rather that executing the binary directly. If so, where's that script file? Anyway, it says that the current font path is /usr/share/AbiSuite/fonts/ - isn't that the correct one? And when I list that dir, there are plenty of fonts there. However, this time I run the command $ /usr/sbin/chkfontpath -a /usr/share/AbiSuite/fonts it says: "chkfontpath: error opening /usr/share/AbiSuite/fonts/fonts.dir" What does that mean? Is there supoosed to be a file there called "fonts.dir"? How do I create it? Third time I try to open AbiWord, I get both these two messages. When I have clicked OK on both of them, nothing more happens. So now I can't start AbiWord. I would appreciate some guidance. I have looked in the user-list and the how-to, but I can't understand what to do. Thanks! ....................................
