Is this patch included in the Abiword 2.6.3 included with Fatdog 112?Use this pet, it adds the Liberation fonts which use the same metrics as M$ ttfs..it fixed the problem with the rtf file mentioned earlier in this thread.

I do not recall that it solved the whole compatability problem but think it did allow me to at least view certain docs that I otherwise could not.
I also tried Textmaker before, and just tried it on my other PC, but it mishandles the "-" and some of the formatting.
Only the OO "swriter" word processor, using the Slyfaen font, consistently plays nicely with a document sent back and forth for editing with a MS Word user. If I could only get it to load under Fatdog 112!
