I'm not quite sure how this just arrived in my Inbox
but it seems users are still having horrible problems
trying to get non-English fonts working. Are the
current HOWTOs and FAQs failing? This guy is going
to buy Windows because he can't get it to work!
Andrew.

Neither AbiWord (in its documentation) or this resource below (for
Yudit) tells me "How to Do It."
(i.e facilitate Cyrillic support in respectively AbiWord or Yudit under
Linux). So far I've wasted 60 man-hours trying to accomplish what
Windows can do in 45 seconds. I've been Linuxing for six years, but I
concede defeat and I'm going to buy and install Windows. You guys and
your "powerful" software can go jump in a lake. The world doesn't need
this sort of entropy.
Thanks for nothing.
A pathetic endluser,
