    Ashley,

    The Unix Font Path Problem is at
    "http://www.abisource.com/twiki/bin/view/Abiword/UnixFaqAbiWordCouldNotLoadTimesNewRoman"
    in the FAQ.

    The solution is to log in as root and type the following command:
    # /usr/sbin/chkfontpath -a /usr/share/AbiSuite/fonts

    Thanks,
    Eric
