I just tried that, and it does allow me to start abiword. Unfortunately, it
also makes some of the other fonts on my system look like real crap. Has
anyone else that has used this sollution also had this problem? The first
place I noticed the bad fonts was on the slashdot.org webpage, the titles of
all of the stories look really bad. Is there any way to correct this? Or
do I just have to live with it and stop complaining to you guys? :)
