Font Problem (& FAQ suggestion)

Hello, I recently upgraded AbiWord via Ximian Red Carpet, and am now
getting a font error.

I checked here ( http://www.abiword.com/support/faq/ ) and found a
"solution".

       "AbiWord could not load [-*-Times New Roman-...]"
    If you recieve the message "AbiWord could not load the following
    font or fontset from the X Window System display server, [-*-Times
    New Roman-regular-r-*-*-*-0-*-*-*-*-*-*]" or something similar try
    the following, add the line load "type1" to your /etc/X11/XF86Config
    or XF86Config-4 file. (You will need to do this as root.) You may
    also want to try the following command if you still have problems
    /usr/sbin/chkfontpath -a /usr/share/AbiSuite/fonts. Again, you will
    need to do this as root. Check the AbiSuite directory path as it may
have been changed by the packager depending of the distribution.

Unfortunately, the directions are a little too vague for this newbie
Linux user.

How exactly would I go about entering the line: load "type1" into the
Xf86Config file? It would be extremely helpful if there were a link to a
step-by-step example of how this may be done.

Thank you.

-Roger
