    dear sirs,

    I am amazed at not getting any help in installing abiword-1.0.2! I use
    Mandrake 8.1 and I installed the new version of AbiWord when I
    discovered that I could not use greek fonts, or even roman
    transliteration fonts, and there were no clear instructions on how to
    copy TTF fonts from windows( I have also windows on my machine). I have
    now abiword-1.0.2 but also a problem:
      a)at compression the files were copied in home directory
      b) because I lacked some libraries I had to install(that's the reason
    I think), abiword-1.0.2 is now present in /usr/local/AbiSuite and also
    in usr/local/share/AbiSuite
      c) looking up the X11 file, I find out that in XFT file there is a
    wrong path for the fonts
      d) I don't know how to launch Abiword, I have use the shell file and
    an icon on the bureau but is that the right method
      f) I still get a message of not loading the Unix fonts!

      g) because of lack of installation instructions, I did not disinstall
    abiword0.9.2 before hand!

    Now what to do? please advice!
    j.vdr

    ps i see running through the files that there is lots of
    possibilities,even for russian! but in practice?
