I apologize for the running at the mouth syndrome I am exhibiting here but I further checked /sw/lib/X11/fonts and of course I then opened /fonts and it is full of fonts-all the usual suspects. Should I trash it and see if it rebuilds or something?
Thanks

I found that the ownership is correct (me) for: /.fonts. I did check /sw/bin/X11/fonts/ and found only :
[Brian-OKeefes-Computer:/] brianokeefe% ls /sw/lib/X11/fonts/
applettf konsole
This does seem somewhat of a dearth of fonts. How do I reinstall them? Drag and drop from another directory like /library/fonts?
thanks

Thanks Martin,
I'll try the font fix. Abiword does not start, however but gives: [Brian-OKeefes-Computer:~] brianokeefe% abiword
/sw/bin/abiword: line 14: 16154 Illegal instruction /sw/bin/abiwordx $@

A little idea.These are not italics, they are all the same font,like lucida calligraphy or something. When I try to change the fonts for a desktop, kde,gnome, whatever, the list of options includes all the names of the fonts but they are all the same flowery font. My regular finder in OSX does not exhibit this problem.

One thing to look at is the directory named ".fonts" in your home directory. At startup, Abiword populates this directory with symbolic links to font files in subdirectories of /sw/lib/X11/fonts/. In particular, look at permissions and ownership of this directory. It should be owned by you, not by root, for example. Try if moving it away helps. Abiword will then create a new copy (and take very long to start up). Also, the fonts in /sw/lib/X11/fonts/ could be broken (or absent).
