I just got the same error with SuSE 6.1 here (trying 0.5.5 and CVS-16/05/99,
and I fixed it (I'm sorry, but it was not clear how the fix was done :-(
so I think it's not a font that's missing in the tarball.

There is a serious problem with AbiWord 0.5.5 on SuSE however, it won't load
word97-docs correctly (not at all that is).

I tried to compile some recent CVS (16/05/99) on SuSE, but that failed, I
guess because of libstdc++.so.2.8 missing (I did postpone the error-digging
for that, haven't even tested a static CVS-binary).

However on my (base-system) Redhat 5.2 there's no problem whatsoever,
and AbiWord (0.5.5 and CVS 13/05/99) are doing fine.
