    attached mail follows:

    ok, first, the font path is correct/added in xfs config file.
    second, I am used the true-type fonts (followed the directions from
    abiword site) and created the
    *.u2g and *.afm files, as well as the fonts.dir and fonts.scale files.

    However, I get the following error when trying to start abiword:

    Abiword could not load the following font or fontset from the X Window
    System display server:
    [-*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-*-100-*-*-*-*-*-*]

    Then Abiword crashes (after diplaying that message about 10 times)
    I did notice that there is nothing of that font form in the fonts.dir
    file.
    Is that the problem? If so, where do I get the font from?
    Can abiword word be loaded without looking for that font(or using on in
    fonts.dir)?

    Also, the following error is spit out when run from an xterm:

    Gdk-CRITICAL **: file gdkfont.c: line 357 (gdk_text_width): assertion
    'font != NULL' failed.

    Thanks
    John Manko
