This causes the AbiWord program to fail during initialization. >How-To-Repeat: Install the port on a system with XFree86 >= 4 and try to run AbiWord. >Fix: The following patch to pkg-message attempts to explain fully what needs to be done in order to successfully install and run AbiWord. To fix the problem you should apply the patch and bump up the port revision number, I think. --- pkg-message.orig Sat Sep 29 15:32:41 2001 +++ pkg-message Sat Sep 29 15:47:48 2001 @@ -1,11 +1,18 @@ -If you are going to display AbiWord on the remote X server please make sure -that files from the ${PREFIX}/share/AbiSuite/fonts directory available to -your remote X server and add ${PREFIX}/share/AbiSuite/fonts into server's -font path.
