I am running abiword 2.0.3 on my personal notebook where I do my
personal writing-- a journal, the great american novel-- the usual. I
don't like Times New Roman, don't know why, don't care why. Palatino
Linotype looks good to me and kerns well on AbiWord, a program that I love.
But there are problems. I think they derive from my choice of fonts, but
I could be way off base. Lines disappear from my display. Very bad. I am
never sure if the damn flaky piece o' crap has dropped data or what. I
am not kidding that I love Abiword, but I understand people who dump
Abiword.
I remember when the evil empire, MS Word, was flaky in the same way.
When MS Word was floundering against WordPerfect and several other
competitors whose names I have forgotten, it had the same kind of
problems and MS learned a lesson: they started paying attention to
problems that made users soil their underwear.
OK. Enough crap.I opened an issue, but no one responded.
Understandable. Everyone has priorities. I can work it myself. Can
anyone point me in the right direction, give me hints, to help fix this?
I am an experienced C++ programmer, more on UNIX than Windoz, even
though the most convenient systems I have for development are Windows.
Any advice will be appreciated.
Marv
