Bugzilla Bug 763

Unable to print from AbiWord 0.7.8 built in a glibc-2.1 environment using gcc
version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)
AbiWord generates PS 3.0 output which is not rendered on a PS 2.0 printer (test
printer is a HP LaserJet 4M Plus with duplexer, PS 2.0 ROM, and 24Mb RAM
installed).  Opening the file with gs produces the following error messages:

Examining the output further, this error is located within the first font
definition in the PostScript output.  The font with which this problem was
discovered is Crillee, from the Gimp freefonts collection.  The font renders
perfectly onscreen both in AbiWord and in Gimp, and prints correctly from other
applications including ApplixWare and StarOffice; only AbiWord is unable to
print it.  Further testing indicates that AbiWord is similarly unable to print
the other fonts from the Gimp freefonts and sharefonts packages, and in fact
does not appear to be able to print any PostScript font not included with
AbiWord itself.

Hopefully someone will get around to look at the PS font issues.

I believe I fixed this.
