Linux font weirdness

Found another oddity.
Not sure who's fault it is.

FC6 - abiword-2.4.6-1.fc6

The font it is screwing up with is Lucida Sans Typewriter.
>From the png - it looks like it is using the bold face even though I
have not selected bold. And the font metrics are screwed.

When I printed to PDF (using the gnome print) to see what font it was
using, it looks like it embedded the proper font and not the bold - but
the metrics still seem screwy.

The font is from MS Font Pack for Win 3.1 - and is not modified by me or
anyone else.

Fortunately I'm not fond of that font anyway (and happen to have license
to a Type 1 version I could use if I was) but it seems that someone,
either AbiWord or Fontconfig, has got a bug.

If there be anything I can do to pin down who's bug it is, I'd like to
do it.

I'll probably be installing the test version of AbiWord and see what
happens there as well.

That seems to be the only lucida ttf font from the font pack that is
screwing up.
