It's Suse8.0 that's the problematic distribution, Mandrake 8.2 works for Keith. 'xset +fp /usr/local/AbiSuite/fonts' succeeds when run from a user account on my Suse8.0 test machine. This suggests to me that users do have sufficient permissions to change the font path, although I don't know if Abiword and xset both use the same means to accomplish this. Running under gdb (actually DDD) produces - Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x081168a9 in EV_Toolbar_label::getToolTip () I don't know how meaningful this is, but I thought it might provide a clue.
