I experienced this problem on Ubuntu 9.10 using packages from the AbiWord-Stable PPA. From what Martin said, it sounds like these packages are missing a dependency. Any idea what the font package might be named? I ended up reverting back to 2.6 to get the functionality I needed. ~John On Thu, May 6, 2010 at 12:00 AM, Martin Sevior <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Ingo, > > What distribution do you use?
