Help! I'm sure there must be something fundamentally wrong with my installation
of AbiWord as I have seen AbiWord 1.0.3 reported as running fine on XP (Home
Edition only?)
The problems
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- wierd fonts: many lines get a mysterious empty square box character added to
them (usually at the end of the line). Also bullets/triangles usually come out
as bold letters of the alphabet.
- extra characters get added to the ends of lines: typically some lines will
get the empty square box added, plus an ASCII number that was in the line. For
example the line:
Address:<tab>32 Hampton Row
sometimes gets "<square>32" added at the end. Examining the .abw file, this
does not have the extra repeated text in it.
- crashes all the time: when doing simple edits on files written from scratch
in Abiword, or particularly when reading in RTF files generated by Word or
Framemaker.
My system
~~~~~~~~~
As delivered, except for the installation of a few commercial audio/imaging
packages and basic device drivers for CD/monitor/etc:
Pentium 4
Windows XP Professional + Service Pack 1
UK (so it warned about missing "en-GB" language until I installed the
british.hash file)
AbiWord installed using setup.exe with the default options.

I couldn't see anything in the FAQs / bugzilla / mailing list archive, but I
seem to be having fairly fundamental problems that I expect other users are not
seeing.. any ideas?
