Why are characters not showing?

Hi

I've just installed AbiWord on W98SE to evaluate it for a friend who
doesn't want to buy MS Word. It looks good apart from no characters show
on screen! I can see table boundaries. I can see space markers. I can see
clip art. I can misspell words and see the red underline. I can save them
as a text file and open it and see them. And, no, I'm not looking at white
characters on a white background. Highlighting has no effect. I've never
had this problem with any other application.

Apologies (as an AbiWord newbie) if the answer is blindingly obvious or if
the question has been answered many times before (but I did look back over
the last six months or so in the archive and couldn't spot anything.)

TIA

Peter
