    If you really want to run AbiWord remotely, do yourself a favor and
    install 1.99.6 (aka 2.0 beta). If you really can't, install it on your
    local machine (the one that host the X11 server).

    The problem is that 1.0.x font management is ugly, and you have to make
    sure that the fonts that gets loaded by the wrapper script are available
    to the server.

    You probably read the wrong FAQ.
