[Fink-users] Re: Fonts for Abiword

[Gary K Olson]

I had trouble with gnumeric and abiword which appears to have been due 
to the presence of freetype2 and applesystemfonts being installed when 
I compiled GNOME 2.4.  I removed these packages and rebuilt the pango1, 
pango1-xft2, libgnomeprint, and libgnomeprintui packages.  Now both 
load okay.  Gnumeric seems to be fine, but abiword only has the few 
.ttf fonts present in /Library/fonts and /System/Library/fonts most of 
which are non-latin fonts that are of no use to me.  The fonts in my 
~/Library/fonts I don't think are X11 fonts.  Gnumeric lists most of 
the fonts in my ~/Library/fonts directory, but I don't think it can 
actually use these.  Could anyone give me some clarification here?  
What is supposed to be available in the way of fonts?  How can I get 
these fonts recognized? Thank you for any help.

I tried to installing applesystemfonts (in /sw/lib/X11/fonts/) after I 
was finished installing abiword, but I get the same illegal instruction 
message:

[Gary-K-Olsons-Computer:~]:-bash:503$: /sw/bin/abiword: line 14: 27797
Illegal instruction     /sw/lib/AbiSuite-2.0/AbiWord-2.0 $@
and abiword won't load in that case.  I wonder if I moved the 
applesystemfonts to /Library/fonts or ~/Library/fonts and threw away 
the .fonts.cache-1 file, so gnome would regenerate it, if I could get 
abiword to recognize the applesystemfonts?  Also, w/o applesystemfonts 
abiword generates an empty .fonts folder.  Any help here would be much 
appreciated!
