Well! I have my ttf fonts with my 0.99.3 AbiWord version !...
In spite of my bad english I was (correctly understood and) powerfully
helped by Anne Parker and Gabe de Jong, and they gave me the com-
plete solution. If I sum up that solution, we will have :
In order to substitute the Windows-ttf fonts to original AW fonts,
there are some things to do in a definite order :
1) Verify you have "ttftool and "ttfadmin.sh" in the AW binary principal directory
(for me it is : "/usr/local/bin") where is the wrapper "abiword", else, find them
to place here.
2) go to folder where is directory "fonts" (the AbiWord fonts dir).
3) create a new dir "SVGFontsType1"
4) cut-paste all fonts from dir "fonts" to dir "SVGFontsType1"
5) copy-paste the ".../windows/system/fonts" to dir "fonts"
6) in a console, as "root", run the commands :
...../fonts# ttmkfdir -o fonts.scale
...../fonts# mkfontdir
(to obtain here the both files : fonts.scale and fonts.dir)
7) return to binary AbiWord dir, where is (important) "ttftool" to execute:
...../bin# ttfadmin.sh /usr/local/share/AbiSuite/fonts
...and it is finished. When you will lauch AbiWord you will have all the good
ttf fonts used byu Windows...
Extra!!!
Many thanks to Anne and Gabe.
