Hi Bernard,
Thank you very much. To the developers, surely somebody could
cook up a parl script or something to do this automatically? This has to
be the most asked question we get on IRC and it would be great to include
this as plugin or even a seperate script.
ie:
Choose: Tools->install TTF fonts, restart abiword.
Cheers
Martin
