    Exactly. And if I weren't so lame, I'd go look in
    the AbiWord sources to pull out the code that does
    the rendering, and make myself a minimal test case.

    Wine is getting *really close* to being able to run
    most Windows programs. Its failure on Abiword is
    a glaring exception. It really looks like there's
    some simple problem in Wine here -- simple to someone
    familiar with the code, anyway.
