    Hi,

    fontpath problem at abiword startup

    if I set the debug flag (ABI_OPT_DEBUG=1), the following message is shown at
    startup:
    ...
    DEBUG: XDisplay [prounix:0.0], current X font path count 17, AW path count
    1, subdircount 5
    DEBUG: found non-directory entry in existing fontpath [tcp/:7000]

    Window pops up with the message: Abiword was not able to add its fonts to
    the X font path ....

    DEBUG: File says 68 fonts should follow...
    DEBUG: Read 68 fonts from directory [/usr/local/AbiSuite/fonts/].
    DEBUG: Cannot open [/usr/local/AbiSuite/fonts/de/fonts.dir] to read fonts
    list.
    DEBUG: Cannot open [/usr/local/AbiSuite/fonts/iso88591/fonts.dir] to read
    fonts list.
    DEBUG: Cannot open [/usr/local/AbiSuite/fonts/de-DE/fonts.dir] to read fonts
    list.
    DEBUG: Cannot open [/usr/local/AbiSuite/fonts/de-DE.iso88591/fonts.dir] to
    read fonts list.
    ...

    these directories and files are missing:
                   /usr/local/AbiSuite/fonts/de
                   /usr/local/AbiSuite/fonts/iso88591/fonts.dir
                   /usr/local/AbiSuite/fonts/de-DE/fonts.dir
                   /usr/local/AbiSuite/fonts/de-DE.iso88591/fonts.dir

    and I think that in each fontpath a file fonts.dir must exist.

    entry in:
    #/etc/X11/fs/config:

    # font server configuration file
    # $XConsortium: config.cpp,v 1.7 91/08/22 11:39:59 rws Exp $

    # xset fp+ tcp/`hostname`:7000

    the abiword font path will not be added by xset

    but I donīt know how to solve this.

    thanks Martin
