<para>
Choose the right template for your language and locale from the list
produced by the following command:
</para>
<screen><userinput>ls /usr/share/abiword-&AbiWord-minor-version;/templates</userinput></screen>
<para>
Create the folder
<filename class='directory'>~/.AbiSuite/templates</filename> then copy
the <filename>normal.awt</filename> you want into it:
</para>
<screen><userinput>install -v -m750 -d ~/.AbiSuite/templates &amp;&amp;
install -v -m640 /usr/share/abiword-&AbiWord-minor-version;/templates/normal.awt-<replaceable>&lt;lang&gt;</replaceable> \
~/.AbiSuite/templates/normal.awt</userinput></screen>
<para>
Change <replaceable>&lt;lang&gt;</replaceable> by the above command to
fit the name of the file you want.
</para>
<para>
If you are using multiple languages, you may need to edit the template
to use a font with greater coverage (e.g. one of the
<ulink url="http://dejavu.sourceforge.net/">DejaVu fonts</ulink>),
because <application>Abiword</application> does not use
<application>fontconfig</application> and can only display glyphs that
are provided in the chosen font.

<para>
If you have <xref linkend="desktop-file-utils"/> installed, you should
run the <command>update-desktop-database</command> command to update the
mimeinfo cache and allow the Help system to work.
</para>
<para>
If you have <xref linkend="xdg-utils"/> installed, you should
run the <command>xdg-icon-resource forceupdate --theme hicolor</command>
command, for the installed icon to be displayed in the menu item.
