    Thanks, but the thanks should really go to the Developers. Answering
    questions is just my way of trying to thank the developers for providing
    the great software.

    My guess would be that the version of Abiword for Windows that you are
    currently using still has some glitches in the drawing code where the
    space between letters is determined.
    I think there may already be bug reports filed on the issue, see our
    Bugzilla bug tracking system for more information.
