    It's Suse8.0 that's the problematic distribution, Mandrake 8.2 works for
    Keith.

    'xset +fp /usr/local/AbiSuite/fonts' succeeds when run from a user account
    on my Suse8.0 test machine. This suggests to me that users do have sufficient
    permissions to change the font path, although I don't know if Abiword and
    xset both use the same means to accomplish this.

    Running under gdb (actually DDD) produces -

    Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
    0x081168a9 in EV_Toolbar_label::getToolTip ()

    I don't know how meaningful this is, but I thought it might provide a
    clue.

    Thanks!
