    I guess you're using debian linux which provides a gnome build of
    abiword. If you install true type fonts for abiword and try to print the
    truetype fonts it will fail because gnome-print does not do these
    correctly.

    If the debian linux build enables the "print directly" feature (look
    under file) you might be able to print documents with truetype fonts.

    Sorry about this. This is one reason I don't like to recommend truetype
    fonts for abiword.

    We're currently doing a major overhall of our font system which should
    eliminate this problem.
