Subject: Ugly fonts return with Abiword

Hello,
I have installed version 9.0 on a system running Mandrake 8.0 with a Gnome Desktop. When I first installed Mandrake, the fonts were atrocious (there's a long thread about this on www.mandrakeuser.org). I solved the problem by installing XFree86 version 4.1.0.
However, when I run Abiword, the ugly fonts return. This is the case not only in Abiword, but also in Galeon/Mozilla. When Abiword is running, the fonts are bad. When I close Abiword and reload the webpage, the fonts go back to normal.
The problem occurs with both the abiword-0.9.0-1mdk.i586.rpm and abiword-gtk-intl-rh7.1-0.9.0-1.i386.rpm builds. I can't figure out how to install the abiword-gnome-intl-rh7.1-0.9.0-1.i386.rpm build, since it requires the resource libgal.so.9, which I can't find anywhere.
I really would like to use Abiword as a lightweight word processor, but not if it causes my entire desktop to become practically illegible.
Any suggestions?
Steve
