I downloaded ttf2pt1 from sourceforge and compiled it, then did the following:

$ cd /tmp
$ ttf2pt1 -e /usr/share/fonts/ttf/windows/verdana.ttf verdana
$ ttf2pt1 -e /usr/share/fonts/ttf/windows/verdanab.ttf verdanab
$ ttf2pt1 -e /usr/share/fonts/ttf/windows/verdanai.ttf verdanai
$ ttf2pt1 -e /usr/share/fonts/ttf/windows/verdanaz.ttf verdanaz
$ su
# cd /usr/local/AbiSuite/fonts
# cp /tmp/ver* .
# kwrite fonts.dir

I then edited a file, put a line of Verdana in it, and attempted to print it. I
got this error:

AbiWord encountered errors parsing the font metrics file
[/usr/local/AbiSuite/fonts/verdana.afm].
These errors were not fatal, but print metrics may be incorrect.

I hit OK and AbiWord crashes. What's wrong?
