Some of the scripts included in the "official" AbiWord binary are not included in our package, leading to missing TTF support
This is a bit of a tricky problem, apparently. To resolve it, we must: 1) Use Load "ttf" instead of Load "freetype" in XF86Config if we want TTF fonts other than those in the XFree 4.2 distribution to work. 2) Symlink /usr/bin/ttftool into /usr/share/AbiSuite/bin/ttftool 3) Allow all abiword users to update /usr/share/AbiSuite/fonts Also, whenever a user wants to add a new TTF to his system, he will need to update the /usr/share/AbiSuite/fonts/fonts.{dir,scale} files very carefully (cannot remove the AbiWord-specific fonts) in addition to putting them into /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF where they belong. I am tempted to write a short HOWTO on this instead of fixing it, unless we can find a fix that's not a butt-ugly security risk.
Doesn't seem fixable even when following the official AbiWord HOWTO. Won't fix until 0.99.3 is added.
