I'm encountering the following problem with AbiWord under Woody
(Version: 0.9.0-0.1). While on-screen display is fine while editing a
document, when I print, print preview, or print to file (create a .ps
file), all text is rendered as blocks, looking something like:
[][][] [][] [][][] [][][][] [] [][][] [][][] [][] [][][] [][]
[][][][] [] [][] [][] [] [][] [][][] [][] [][][] [][][] [][][]
[][][][][] [][][][] [][][][] [][] [] [][][] [] [] [][][]
[][][][][] [][] [][] [] [] [][][] [][] [] [][][][] []
...which might be considered asthetically pleasing, but has a rather low
s/n value.
The seems to be related to a number of currently outstanding AbiWord
bugs, including:
- #109580: abiword: font error
- #59267: abiword: Abiword borks with a font error on remote displays
- #64365: abiword doesn't find font and doesn't start
One attempted solution is to add the line
FontPath "/usr/share/abisuite/fonts/"
...to /etc/X11/XF8Config-4, as suggested in #109580. (Note that
'abisuite' should be lowercased, rather than MixCase, as in the bug
report).
However, this has no apparent effect, either within a given X session,
or in a new one. I've tried a number of tweaks to try to get fonts
updated including:
$ xset fp+ /usr/share/abisuite/fonts
$ xset fp rehash
$ /etc/init.d/xfs restart
...I don't have xfstt installed on this box, though my TT fonts
work outside of AbiWord.
Anyone else seeing this or have a suggestion?
Cheers.
