I am under the impression that Pango rendering, which may or may not
arrive in 2.5/6, should help with this. You are encouraged to report
all bugs found to the bug tracker that I just got done advertising
http://bugzilla.abisource.com in place of "reporting" them to a mailing
list where they are easily forgotten. Thanks for using AbiWord!
