![]() For each of these, you need to copy four files there is a file for normal, italic, bold, and bold-italic.Īfter doing that, restart Abiword, and the fonts will be available. They are Arial (proportional, no serifs), Times New Roman (proportional, with serifs), Courier New (nonproportional, that is, equal spacing between characters), and Dingbats (symbols). Note that MS Windows has four basic fonts that are in all versions of Windows, right back to 3.x. Copy font files from C:\windows\fonts\ folder to /root/.fonts/ folder.Use the Puppy pmount program (in the File Managers menu) and mount the Windows C: drive.If you want to use the actual MS TrueType fonts, not substitutes, no problem. If you create a document using Abiword in Puppy, if the document is opened in MS Windows then Times New Roman will be used and Windows won't have to try and guess what to use in place of Nimbus Roman No9 L. Note: The advantage of using the generic name Times New Roman is for portability. Note: If you have changed a selection of text to something and you want to change it back to the default Times New Roman, just highlight the text and choose "Normal" text style from the leftmost listbox. What is happening here is that Times New Roman is a MS Windows TrueType font, not in Puppy, so Abiword substitutes the closest that it can find. File normal.awt is the default document template, and this file specifies the default font. When Abiword starts, it reads the file /root/.AbiSuite/templates/normal.awt, or if that doesn't exist, Abiword falls back to reading /usr/local/share/AbiSuite-2.4/templates/normal.awt. However, if you go to the font-selection list-box, you will see that Times New Roman is not a choice. ![]() When you first start Abiword, you will see that the default font is Times New Roman. Again, this is a PupGet package, package name amaya-8.8.1. Note, if you want WYSIWYG MathML equation editing, install Amaya, which is a HTML editor. You need to install two packages, libt1-1.3.1 (Type1 font rasteriser, used by gtkmathview actually, I think this package is optional) and gtkmathview-0.7.5. Gtkmathview is a package that can be installed with the PupGet package manager (see Setup menu). It is not WYSIWYG editing, as you have to enter a Latex equation, so you would need to become familiar with basic Latex syntax. It is a plugin, named AbiMathView, and it requires the gtkmathview package. * Go into "Edit > Preferences." to enable spellchecking as you type.Ībiword has a grammar-checking plugin, however the Links Grammar package has to be installed for it to work.Īfter installing Links Grammar, start Abiword, then go to "Edit -> Preferences." menu and turn on grammar checking. * Place the files in /root/.AbiSuite/dictionary/ * Uncompress the downloaded file, you should have two files, for example american.hash and american.hash-encoding. * Download a Abispell dictionary from the AbiWord download website HomePage > SoftwareIndex Software Index > SoftwareOffice Office > AbiWord > Using AbiWord
