Greetings to everyone,
I received and compiled abiword-2.0.0 under Woody-r1
with the latest fribidi release (version 0.10.4?, I'm not sure)
render 0.8, xrender 0.83, fontconfig 2.2.0, glib-2.2.3,
pango-1.2.5, atk-1.2.4 (I think) the latest gtk+ (2.2.4(?)) and
gucharmap 1.0.0. Man, it is truly impressive, especially if you are
interested in human languages!
But after all I'm writing because of a problem, so let's get to the
point.
My hardship is, that I was trying to use a custom ttf font with the new
AbiWord, but instead of reading the glyphs that were in the font, it
presented me with some (incomplete) fallback set, that wasn't really
suitable for my purpose. This font was usable with all other programs
I tried it with, including the copy of gucharmap that I linked abiword
against, although I was aware, that it is incorrectly coded and only
half-fixed with pfaedit to map the characters I needed to their proper
Unicode code points.
So I tried to fix my font, apparently successfully, with a fresh version
of pfaedit and some manual hacking of the .sfd files pfaedit uses.
But...
I can only use the repaired font in AbiWord, if I give it a new name to
be used in the drop-down font-selection list. If I use the old name,
Abiword resorts to the old fallback glyph set, probably saved in some
cache on the filesystem, or to plain circles. My question is, how I can
delete this cache, or whatever it is, and force Abiword to read in
my font file instead of it. The menus of the program have nothing like
this, or I missed it.
Regards,
busmanus
