    the one that host X11 server ?? I'm sure to understand.
    More precisely, AbiWord is installed onto a full RH6.2 system
    (including X11).
    But I need to used it on my X Terminal (physical terminal) executing
    HP-UX and X11 from a HP server.
    I can't install anything on the HP server due to the fact I'm not root !!!

    I've got the error described previously on both system : locally on
    RH6.2 system and remotely on the HP terminal running from an HP server.
    Under linux abiword work after ... but under terminal, it crashes.
    Is there a way to use AbiWord in this configuration ??
    Does the 1.99.6 version can really help me in this way ?

    Sure because I have error with fonts locally too, under RH6.2, but not
    fatal.
    I mean, after the first dialog box (saying "AbiWord wan not able to add
    its fonts to the X font Path"), abiword appear and work great.
     From the HP terminal, after this first one, for each font a dialogBox
    appears ... and then abiWord die.

    I tried the issues mentionned into this FAQ whitout success, locally as
    well as from the HP terminal ...
