Sorry, I should have been clearer. A document you may open may
reference font "foobar", when you only have fonts "foo", "baz",
and "thug" installed. AbiWord knows it doesn't have font "foobar"
on the system, and uses a fallback font for display. Before this
check-in, the font dialog (when prompted to load with "foobar" selected)
did things wrong.
