    I have Redhat 7.3, Abiword 1.0.0 with GNOME support, XFree 4.2
    When I launch Abiword, it gives me the message about not being able to
    load fonts and quits. /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 has Load "type1" in it,
    and I tried running
    /usr/sbin/chkfontpath -a /usr/share/AbiSuite/fonts, but it gives me
    this:
    chkfontpath: error opening /usr/share/AbiSuite/fonts/fonts.dir,
    unwilling to add path
    Someone told me to run mkfontdir on /usr/share/AbiSuite/fonts to fix
    this, but that gives this error:
    mkfontdir: bad format for /usr/share/AbiSuite/fonts/fonts.scale file
    mkfontdir: failed to create directory in /usr/share/AbiSuite/fonts/
    I checked, and the fonts.scale file is there and looks OK to me.
    What can I do to fix this?
    Thanks,
    Ben
