I remember back in 0.7x time, gnome build started to use
gnome-print library for printing. There were talks to also
kept the generic postscript printing used by the gtk build.
CJK printing is only supported by the generic ps printing in
abiword for now.
The lastest gnome-print start supporting TTF font, CJK printing
with gnome-print may finally be supported in abiword with
some hack.(?)
