    There is a preference option in the preferences(?) or options that is
    only visible while there is an editing window open. From memory it was
    'turn off Unix font paths'. I was .. it seemed like a good idea at the
    time ;-(

    when I try to open a file (tried several types) or create a new file, I
    get a long dialogue message, the gist of which is:

    AbiWord could not load the following font or fontset on the X Window
    System display server:
    [-*-Times New Roman -regular-r-*-*-*-0-*-*-*-*-*-*]

    etc

    While the dialogue is open, I cannot get to the menus from the windows.

    The okay (only) button closes the window.

    I have tried to remove all abi* files and reinstall with no luck. I
    cannot even find an XF86config file.
