Now, as the root user: make install && cp -v -rf docs /usr/share/AbiSuite-2.4/AbiWord && cd ../abiword-plugins && make install Build the help files by issuing the following commands as an unprivileged user: cd ../abiword-docs && sed -i 's@AbiWord-2.0@abiword@' make-gnome-html.sh && ./make-gnome-html.sh && ./make-html.sh Then, as the root user, install the help files: install -v -m644 man/abiword.1 /usr/share/man/man1 && install -v -m644 Manual/en/Abiword_Manual.abw \ /usr/share/AbiSuite-2.4/AbiWord/docs && cp -v -rf help /usr/share/AbiSuite-2.4/AbiWord && find /usr/share/AbiSuite-2.4/AbiWord/help \ -type d -exec chmod -v 755 {} \; --without-inter7eps: Some of the headers from the EPS package are not compatible with GCC-4.0.x. This parameter prevents linking to the package and incurring a build failure. sed -i 's@AbiWord-2.0@abiword@' make-gnome-html.sh: This command alters the make-gnome-html.sh script to look for the current version of abiword. ~/.AbiSuite/templates/normal.awt Choose the right template for your language and locale: ls /usr/share/AbiSuite-2.4/templates Create the folder ~/.AbiSuite/templates then copy the normal.awt you want into it: mkdir -p -v ~/.AbiSuite/templates && cp -v /usr/share/AbiSuite-2.4/templates/normal.awt-[lang] \ ~/.AbiSuite/templates/normal.awt Obviously, change [lang] in that command to fit the name of the file you want 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. Open Abiword, choose the font, type one letter then save the document in your home folder as test.abw. Find out what name Abiword uses for the font: grep -m 1 '"font-family' ~/test.abw Now put it into your Abiword template. 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.
