What a disappointment. In its current state, AbiWord is unusable as even a simple text editor.

Why? The one thing any text editor/word processor should do is render the text perfectly...true WYSIWYG. AbiWord in its present state of developement for OSX cannot even claim that.

Regardless of the font used, AbiWord overlaps letter, will merge 2 letters to that they display and print on top of each other, cuts off the hanging portion of letters like g, j, p, q, etc. Spacing is hit or miss, with certain words spaced properly and other appear to be double-spaced.

AbiWord v 2.4.4 is not ready for primetime.
