I haven't experienced this problem on my RedHat 8.0 computers, but 
others raise concerns about fonts, and what's installed on my 2 
computers may make the difference.  However, I will suggest another very 
high quality word processor to try - AbiWord.  I always use RTF for all 
documents I create, send, and post, and this program handles this file 
type well.  It also does a good job with Word documents.
