Got it.
It seems like such a minor bug, but I still think that assuming a
particular resolution is a really bad idea. We want AbiWord to be
able to scale when people are using windowing systems that make text
look better at high resolutions, instead of making it look smaller.
This means not making assumptions about how wide the text is.
Just my 2 cents
