Thanks, I have now downloaded the 0.9.5 fonts from Sourceforge (in RPM
format). However, when I try to install them (I have Mandrake v 8.0) I
have a problem. I get the following error message

/usr/share/AbiSuite/fonts/adobe-full.u2g conflicts with file from
package abiword-0.9.0-1.

I have two problems.

1 When I try to upgrade from abiword 0.9.0 to version 0.9.5 why doesn't
the RPM file simply find the fonts that I already have? I thought that
fonts were fonts, does it really matter that my current ones are from
version 0.9.0?

2 If it really does need the new version of the fonts why not simply
overwrite all the old ones as necessary or, better still, put them in a
different folder?

Can anyone help me please? I would like to try the new version. There
are no other dependency problems by the way.

TIA
