I've just been looking at fink's abiword-2.0.2-21 on Mac OS X 10.3.2
When AbiWord starts, the current font is "Times New Roman" which is not
listed in the font list. Text in menus, boxes & tooltips is fine, but
ruler numbers have become boxes. Similarly, text ("once upon a time")
typed in appears as boxes.
The following fonts are listed:
Al Bayan
Apple Symbols
Arial Hebrew
Ayuthaya
Baghdad
Chalkboard
Corsiva Hebrew
DecoType Naskh
Devanagari MT
Euphemia UCAS
GB18030 Bitmap
Geeza Pro
Gujurati MT
Gurmukhi MT
Krungthep
Kufi Standard GK
Mshtakan
Nadeem
New Peninim MT
Plantagenet Cherokee
Raanana
Sathu
Silom
Thonburi
Most of these turn the sample (latin) text into boxes. The following
are okay:
Ayuthaya
Chalkboard
Euphemia UCAS
Krungthep
Plantagenet Cherokee
Sathu
Silom
Thonburi
"New Peninim" turns the text into a single grey block, and "GB18030
Bitmap" consistently crashes AbiWord.
Of the fonts which work okay, "Plantagenet Cherokee" is the best
approximation to "Times New Roman".
