Hey Marcus... thanks for jumping in. I didn't miss that section, but I can't see how it helps me here. Maybe you can let me know what I'm missing. Going through those instructions: I don't have a ~/.fonts/ directory, and I've looked through /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ for *[Ll][Uu][Cc]* as well as examined all the font descriptions in the various font.dir files and found no non-PCF Lucida font mentioned. Tweaking which fonts are anti-aliased seems not the answer as what I read says that bitmap fonts like PCF cannot be anti-aliased. So the editing of fonts-conf to control this isn't applicable. (note: that site talks about editing that file, yet when you open it, it says at the very top to NOT edit it). Running fc-cache -f does not make these vector Lucida fonts visible to AbiWord. Changing the point size at which fonts are anti-aliased, or the spacing, isn't applicable to my problems. And finally, I already have bitstream-vera installed. If the answer to my problem (or any of my 3 questions) is indeed on that web page, then I guess I'm being dense, but I'm not seeing it. Sorry :(
