     This is the 3rd time I try to post this message, but it seems never made it to the mailing list archive, so I re-send it.

    Hi,

    I would like to use Abiword for word processing in Linux (I have K12OS = RedHat 7.3), and I installed the proper core TT fonts. I did all the necessary preparetions (created the afm and u2g files, and created the links from /usr/share/Abisuite/fonts to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType where I keep the TTFs).
    Now Abiword can see the English TrueType Fonts fine but when I change keyboard language (Alt-Shift to choose Greek), I see Russian instead of Greek !!
    How can I see and print Greek from within Abiword? Is there some configuration parameter in Abiword which allows us to choose the proper language font?

    Keep in mind that I see and print Greek in almost all other Linux Applications (even xterm, vim, etc)

    help

    thanks a lot
