Fonts

Dear Abiworders

Man this font thing is really hard.

I have an X-server and an X-terminal, both Slackware 10.1. The server serves
fonts (xfs) and Abiword 2.4.1. At the server, text in Abiword looks fine on
the screen, truetype and everything. At the X-terminal text in Abiword looks
weird. The text looks mostly OK, but a few words look like they are missing
letters. The letters are not missing because you can step the cursor through
them, which on the screen looks like stepping though blank space on the
screen. The letters (blank space) can also be selected, copied and pasted.
Just that you cannot see them. Ahh. Why?

The X-terminal is definitely getting fonts from the X-Server, because truetype
fonts only exist on the server, and I can see them on the X-terminal. The
documents I have been accessing are those provided with Abiword.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards
Ian
