AbiWord questions I cannot answer myself

      There are two issues I'd like to resolve. The first is quite minor, but
    the second keeps me from using AbiWord as my administrative writing tool.
    I've read all the docs and FAQs I found on the Web site without seeing any
    answers, so I'd appreciate some pointers. I've installed abiword-1.0.3-1 on
    my Red Hat 7.3 systems (2.4.19 kernel).

      First: I cannot invoke AbiWord without the splash screen or font warning,
    despite turning them off in the preferences dialog box. Sometimes, over
    lunch, I'll play with it a few times, but like the magician's candle that
    cannot be extinguished, there they are the next time I fire it up. What
    might I be doing improperly?

      Second: How do I add fonts to the AbiWord stable? I have several Type1
    (postscript) fonts installed that I use for business correspondence. One
    typeface, Baker Signet, is our company logotype and is on the letterhead.
    I'd like to add this typeface and a half-dozen others so they're visible and
    selectable. What do I read that tells me how to add fonts?

    Thanks,

    Rich
