Abiword can't print long RTF file

[Thierry de Coulon]

I've been writing a program that produces RTF files. The program runs on MacOS 
and on Linux (it's written in REALbasic).

On MacOS, the RTF files are opened and printed by TextEdit with no problem.

On Ubuntu, documents that are only one page display and print well. Documents 
that are several page long display OK but when it comes to printing I get 
crazy results (some letters and numbers print across the page. The layout 
seems to be preserved but it's as if only the first character of every 
sentence is printed. This shows on the print preview though...).

Anyone also encountered this behaviour and maybe knows a workaround?
