Devon,
I posted a related message a few days ago, but so far have not found a
solution to the problem. Below is a copy of my post.

=================================================================
When trying to open an MS Word document, I receive the following error
message:
AbiWord could not load the following font or fontset from the X Window
System display server:
[-*-Arial-bold-r-*-*-*-0-*-*-*-*-*-*]
I have followed the suggested instructions, and added the these lines to
both the XF86Config and XF86Config-4 files and rebooted:
(it was suggested to just add the line, Load "type1", to the "Module"
section, but since there was not a section called "Module", I created one
[wrong???])
Section "Module"
load "type1"
EndSection
Adding the above did not correct the problem.
I also entered the following command as root:
/usr/sbin/chkfontpath -a /usr/share/AbiSuite/fonts
and received this response:
/usr/share/AbiSuite/fonts already in list
What am I doing wrong, or does the font "Arial" just not exist? I don't
think the latter is the case, since it is in the font list in the
application.
