If the error message mentions AbiWord's local font path, it's
talking about the ABISUITE_HOME variable, which should be set if you're
running binaries without the wrapper script. In your case, this
should probably be "export ABISUITE_HOME=/usr/local/AbiSuite". If
you've then added the fonts dir (usually $ABISUITE_HOME/fonts,
or /usr/local/AbiSuite/fonts) to your X server font path (it sounds
like you have), AbiWord should start right up.
