I told you I already read it. It does not address the point.
I have put significant good faith effort into assisting in resolving this
issue, including provision of specific practical suggestions and patches.
Please consider responding to the substance of the proposals for resolving the
issue.
I don't ask the AbiWord developers to do anything other than stop interfering
with other applications. Beyond that, I agree with the expectations
document.

And, in general, fixing them. From kernel bugs, to kde bugs, to cvs, to
bugzilla, and even one or two in AbiWord.

Why yes, check with Dom. I've sent several patchs and received no responses,
not so much as a "thanks but no thanks" or a "it won't work because".
Specifically I sent a patch that fixes the false font names, and a patch that
outlines the font substitution necessary, some months ago.
I did not start out angry about this issue.
Nor did most of the dozens of people who feel this is the #1 Unix AbiWord
issue start angry. Please consider that an issue that makes so many people
mad might have merit, and deserve a creative and immediate solution.
