I was referring to your (already applied) patch which adds the prefix zz to
all abiword fonts. Do you have a patch which does internal
font-remapping/substitution on Unix? Without this, simply renaming the
AbiWord fonts would cripple the AbiWord's functionality (all fonts would map
to 'times').
Just trying to bring this discussion up to a higher level,
