AbiWord uses its own fonts for displaying text (afm, pfm - I sense LaTeX
fonts here!!!) and X-window fonts for Gtk GUI (that's why you see GUI
nationalized). Try to copy your fonts into your subdir in fontdir of
AbiWord (i don't remember exact path right now;) and make that subdir name
like pl_PL. Then, if you change LANG to pl_PL AbiWord will use your fonts
as default (IIRC).
