    Anybody care to take a stab at an answer?

    I am finding that all postscript output (to printer or file) is mangled since
    AbiWord 1.0.4 and including 2.0. Since everyone seems happy with AbiWord, I
    assume I am doing something to make my postscript output bad.

     All my postscript output comes out with some spaces converted to backspaces
    randomly!! The result is that words are run together and sometimes even
    overlap. Weird. I did a google search, and found that somebody posted this to
    the Debian (I am using Slackware) folks as a bug, but there was no detectable
    followup.

     Somebody did mention that rtf support was not broken, and that exporting rtf
    and printing that from OpenOffice worked!!

     What happened to the postscript output after 1.0.3 and why is it only
    affecting (apparently) a small number of users?
