The AbiWord comes with number of fonts necessary for it to run. When
it is executed on the local X server the wrapper script uses xset(1)
tool to add path to these fonts to the server's fontpath, which obviously
doesn't work for the remote X server. Hence, when using AbiWord remotely,
the user required to make sure that the fonts in question are available
to the X server, otherwise AbiWord refuses to start.
