Shouldn't you be addressing this to abiword developers?
FWIW, I am not seeing half-eaten letters on printouts of a simple test
(four lines of "Test " repeated without newlines) on 0.9.0-0.1 in
unstable, using the default font and size (Times New Roman, 12 pt).
Those are the defaults it pops up with when I use it, at least.
I also do not see bug reports filed against the abiword package
referencing this. I haven't found anything in Abiword's bug
tracker... a few things which might describe your problems, but none I
can reproduce.
These are all things you could have done which may have gotten more
useful results than your posts to debian-user. You could also have
posted more details than you did in any of your posts: was the problem
just on imported docs? Could you replicate it by entering text from a
blank document? Was it all fonts and font sizes, or just some? If
it's just imported documents, is it a problem with line spacing or
something (a problem I've seen on imported docs in many word
processors)?
