Mapping files like 8859-1.txt

Antiword looks for its mapping files in three directories, in the order given: (1) The directory specified by $ANTIWORDHOME (2) The directory specified by $HOME/.antiword (3) Directory /usr/share/antiword

The fontnames file

Antiword will look for its fontname file in the same directories as used for the mapping files. The fontnames file contains the translation table from font names used by MS Word to font names used by PostScript.

NOTE:

Antiword cannot tell the difference between a file that does not exist and a file that cannot be opened for reading.

Antiword uses the environment variables ``LC_ALL'', ``LC_CTYPE'' and ``LANG'' (in that order) to get the current locale and uses this information to select the default mapping file.
