    Okay, yeah, the binary you downloaded is linked against a different
    libpng version. You might do well to build yourself if it means enuf to
    you.

    Yay.

    Uh...change your zoom or the window size or something. If you cant
    reach any edge of the window, set Geometry in your .profile
    (~/.AbiSuite-2.0/AbiWord.profile or some such)

    that can't be helped by us.

    height of char? font size? Format->Font, font size combo on the
    formatting toolbar, or ctrl+D if the keybindings work.

    Okay, just remember that we provide no warranty, and in fact discourage
    production use of these unstable development versions. If you lose
    time, data, limbs, we warned you.
