Last time I donwloaded from sourceforge, the abiword-fonts rpm had some
problem. It gives some error. I had installed / solved other dependencies,
but still couldn't install abiword because the abiword-font rpm didn't work
(both for gnome and gtk version).
I think the package for the abiword-font needs to be fix. Why do we need that
anyway? Will abiword rpm work without abiword-font (by forcing it to ignore
dependency)?
I use RH 7.2 by the way.
Thanks.
