Re: abiword

Hi Harsha,

I'm relatively new to Linux however I think u should
try installing the xfonts-75dpi package as well. Some
packages look for 75dpi fonts too....maybe that's
what's causing the problem....in either case both
100dpi and 75dpi versions of fonts can co-exist on the
same machine so no harm in trying.

Bye
