AbiWord uses fontconfig to find its fonts. So the
answer is "install the fonts wherever fontconfig can
find them, or point fontconfig in the right
direction."

Yeah, but FontConfig will remap that to something like
"Nimbus Roman 9L", which is really the same font, but
without a copyrighted/trademarked name.
