I am having trouble printing from abiword, and this is the response I got from the abiword mailing list. I believe that I have gnomeprint as far updated as is available in ports. (gnomeprint-0.37_1) Is anyone else having a problem? Is there another workaround? >From: msevior@physics.unimelb.edu.au >To: "Lee Harr" <missive@hotmail.com> >CC: abiword-user@abisource.com >Subject: Re: strange (invisible) spaces in loaded .doc files >Date: Wed, 16 Mar 2005 02:02:28 +1100 (EST) > > > > > After a recent update, I have been having some problems with > > .doc files loaded in to Abiword. > > > > I am using Abiword-2.2.5, but the problem was also evident with > > 2.2.4. > > > > I tried re-building Abi and all of the dependencies (using FreeBSD- > > 4.11 ports) but the problem persists. > > > > The symptom is that the document looks fine in the editor, and > > even in the print preview, but when the document goes to the > > printer, there are spaces in the middle of words that are not > > visible in the editor.
