    I have a weird problem. I've searched through some email archives, read
    the FAQ, etc. If this problem has been addressed, I missed finding the
    solution and I apologize.

    When I fire up abiword, an error dialog pops up with the following
    message:

        The font metrics file [/usr/share/AbiSuite/fonts//n021003l.pfb.afm]
        could not be opened for parsing, nor was it possible to retrieve the
        needed information from the X server; this is a fatal error and
        AbiWord will terminate.
        
    Notice the `pfb.afm' on the end of that file name.

    I'm running the Ximian version for RedHat 7.0 under Ximian's Gnome.
    However, I compiled up the latest source from AbiSource and the
    identical thing happened. The installation of the compiled version was
    placed in /usr/local so (I think) it was completely separate. I used
    "make UNIX_CAN_BUILD_STATIC=0 ABI_OPT_GNOME=1" as the command.

    I also think the error report comes from
    "abi/src/af/xap/unix/xap_UnixFont.cpp" line 638 of 1194. I believe
    that's the code which kicks up the error dialog.

    Can some one tell me what's up or give me a way to track down the
    problem?

    Thanks ahead of time.
