I'm new to GNU/Linux, and have just finished my first installation. I
am running unstable because I want to use the newest version of gnucash.
I also want to use Abiword. I used apt-get to install the latest
version, but when I try to run it I get an error that it cannot find the
Times New Roman font. I have found that other people have gotten this
error (as in the bug report) but I have not found a way to fix it ("your
installation must be hosed" isn't helping).
I checked the directory
/usr/shared/abisuite/fonts
and it has the font files in it, as well as fonts.dir.
I used 'which' to make sure that I am calling the script. I am.
I looked at the script and some man pages to see how it was appending
the directory to the font path, and then tried
$ xset fp+ /usr/shared/abisuite/fonts
in a terminal, and I got:
X Error of failed request: 86
Major opcode of failed request: 51 (X_SetFontPath)
Serial number of failed request: 9
Current serial number in output stream: 11
I have no clue what that might mean, but it is the same error I get when
I put in a path that does not exist.
Any hints?
