Sherfu,
PLEASE don't send email to the list of people on the
LTSP 'About Us' page!!!!
That is NOT the proper place for support questions!
As for AbiWord, This question has come up several times in the
past few days.
Allan Mitch has prepared a document describing how to set this
up. I tried to post the doc to SourceForge last night, but
the server was down, so I didn't get a chance to do it.
Anyway, I've attached the doc for you to give it a try.
Good luck,
Jim McQuillan

Mandrake 8.1, AbiWord and LTSP 3.0
----------------------------------
Written by Allan Mitch with grateful
assistance from the #ltsp-workshop.

When attempting to run AbiWord from a LTSP terminal,
AbiWord returns the error message:
AbiWord could not load the following font or fontset from the
X Window System Display server:
[-*-Times New Roman-regular-r-*...]
This error could be the result of an incomplete AbiSuite
installation, an incompatibiility with your X Window System
display server, or a problem comminicating with a remote font
server.
This problem results when the X font server can not serve up the fonts
that AbiWord requires.
The solution is to get the Xserver to communicate with the LTSP
terminals through a TCP port so that LTSP terminal can connect to the
X font server (xfs), and to set the X font server's path to find the
AbiWord fonts.
The solution requires 4 files to be modified:
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4
---------------------
Change: FontPath "unix/:-1"
To: FontPath "tcp/localhost:7100"
This allows the Xserver to open a TCP port to communicate with the
LTSP terminals.
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs
--------------------
Two lines need to be modified
Change: daemon --check xfs xfs -port -1 -daemon -droppriv -user xfs
To: daemon --check xfs xfs -port 7100 -daemon -droppriv -user xfs
Change: daemon --check xfs su xfs -c \"xfs -port -1\" -s /bin/sh
To: daemon --check xfs su xfs -c \"xfs -port 7100\" -s /bin/sh
This tells the X font server to use the TCP port.
/etc/X11/fs/config
------------------
There should be a line similar to:
catalogue = /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled,
perhaps followed by a number of other lines each specifying where
fonts can be found. At the end of the catalogue list add a comma,
followed by a new line and the text:
/usr/share/AbiSuite/fonts
Example:
catalogue = /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/mdk:unscaled,
/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1,
/usr/share/fonts/ttf/decoratives,
/usr/share/fonts/ttf/western,
/usr/share/AbiSuite/fonts
/opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf
---------------------------
Change: USE_XFS = N
To: USE_XFS = Y
Usually this line is found in the [Default] section.
Restart the X font server using the commands:
service xfs stop
service xfs start
If successful a message will be returned saying "OK".
Restart your LTSP terminal. AbiWord should work now.
