I've noticed the following problem across several distros and with several minor versions of AbiWord.
As far as I can tell, *only* AbiWord is affected, no other GTK apps exhibit the behaviour. When using AbiWord with either the default X 4.2.0 trident_drv OR the updated driver provided by Alan Hourihane, it's as if the fonts on screen are being represented slightly larger (on the page) than AbiWord "sees" them internally -- the result of this is that when typing, the text runs off the right side of the page (quite some distance) at which point it becomes invisible, but is sometimes visible in brief flashes while typing. Eventually, the text will wrap (WELL beyond the "apparent" right margin) and continue to the next line which will do the same thing. This happens with pretty much any font (including MS fonts) that I throw at it. I originally thought it was merely a problem with AbiWord being confused about the point size of the fonts (ALL fonts, on at least 4 Linux distros) ... but at this point I've no clue what it could be. No other program has exhibited this behaviour, and searching Abi's Bugzilla and lists has turned up nothing. I can switch to the generic vesa driver and the behaviour goes away, but then all fonts look a bit ... off. Nothing major, but not as clear/attractive as they seem to be while using the trident_drv. Also, on the latest Red Hat beta (null), the behaviour is apparent using both the vesa driver AND the trident_drv. It's not even that I use AbiWord all that much, or desperately need it, but I have tried everything I can think of to sort this out and am at a loss. Any ideas?
