Hello Ilya!
I'm using right now TrueType fonts + Type1. Watch this:
http://www.deot.net/abiwordheb.jpg
I've made this screenshot before receiving this message of yours.. Now
say, doesn't it rule ?? :)
What I did was:
1. created a directory for fonts, AbiSuite/fonts/$LANG
it MUST be $LANG, watch the bash script 'abiword' (The one your run
abiword with. it's a script.) in order to see how it finds these fonts.
2. Copied the whole truetype directory of my X,
(/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType), including the fonts.dir . If you
don't have these fonts on X with fonts.dir already:
a. get some .ttf fonts :)
b. copy the fonts to AbiSuite/fonts/$LANG
c. use 'ttmkfdir' in order to create fonts.dir file.
3. it works in abiword, but some of the hebrew fonts ('arial', for
example), doesn't work in hebrew. Well, for some reason, at least in my
place (I didn't investigate this problem too much), abiword takes the LAST
font record for each font in fonts.dir . What I did was- I edited
fonts.dir, and wherever I saw a hebrew font that ends with iso8859-8, I
made him to be the LAST one in the list of fonts in his kind..
For example if I saw:
-bla-arial-balbfdlfb-iso8859-8
-bla-arial-balbfdlfb-iso8859-1
I made the 'iso8859-8' be _AFTER_ the iso8859-1 or whatever there's after
him, so the 'arial' font will be the iso8859-8 one.
I hope I helped :)
Cya,
Oren.
