    Hello-

    I installed the Ximian Desktop which included AbiWord onto RH 7.3.
    Everyting worked great except AbiWord which gave the splash screen then
    a segmentation fault hang. I reinstalled AbiWord from the RPM then the
    source but keep getting the following hang:

    when I attempt to run abiword I get the error:

    AbiWord was not able to add its fonts to the X font path. This does not
    mean there is anything wrong with your system but you will need to
    modify your font path manually.

    when I click OK, I get another box telling me

    AbiWord could not find any local font files in its font path. Often this
    error is the result of invoking AbiWord directly instead of through its
    wrapper shell script. The script sets the environment variable
    $ABISUITE_HOME which should point to the directory where AbiSuite
    Components reise. The current font path contains the following
    directories: [/usr/share/AbiSuite/fonts].

    When I check this directory, it is full of afm, afb and atm files. Have
    been unable to find the wrapper shell script to invoke.

    Would appreciate any advice!!!

    Many thanks
    Jon
