I take it you're running Kubuntu on an Athlon XP?

Perhaps the system can't preload 32- and 64-bit shared libraries
together.

Does libpangohack get loaded at runtime?  The best way I can think of to
check this is to get the process id of Writer then "grep
libpango /proc/<pid>/maps".

Regarding the fonts problem, is your system a clean install or an
upgrade from a previous release (Hoary or perhaps a Breezy snapshot)?
Last time I had a problem vaguely like that, I think I had to do
"dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg".
