AbiWord uses Times New Roman as its default font. If you'd like it to default to a different font, edit ~/.AbiSuite/templates/normal.awt and change the font to the one you want. To find out the exact string AbiWord uses for the font, open AbiWord, type one letter, then save the document in your home folder as test.abw. Now: grep -m 1 '"font-family' ~/test.abw | cut -d \" -f6 You can edit ~/.AbiSuite/templates/normal.awt with a simple text editor like Vim or Gedit, or you can alter it with a sed. For example, if you want to use Bitstream Vera Sans: sed -i 's@Times New Roman@Bitstream Vera Sans@g' \ ~/.AbiSuite/templates/normal.awt Installed Programs Installed Libraries Installed Directories abiword, AbiWord-2.4, ttfadmin.sh, and ttftool Numerous plugin library support modules /usr/lib/AbiWord-2.4 and /usr/share/AbiSuite-2.4 Short Descriptions abiword is a symbolic link to the main AbiWord-2.4 executable. abiword AbiWord-2.4 is the word-processing program executable.
