It's because abiword's font rendering breaks when running in a unicode locale. I started to look at it at one point, but haven't had a lot of time to track it down. gtkhtml had a similar bug and it ended up being a tiny diff, but really tricky to find. > It seemed odd to me that RedHat was using something like "Nimbus Roman" as > the default font rather than Times New Romam or Arial. The font being shipped by Abiword is not Times New Roman, it's Nimbus Roman. Times New Roman is not a term which can be used to reply to fonts other than actual Times New Roman. Cheers, Jeremy
