 I've solved this... kinda...
 
 The issue is that the fonts it wants do not exist and... can't be 
 shipped with it either. The default fonts are MS fonts found in 
 x11-fonts/webfonts.
 
 The solution, seemingly, would thus be to change the default font in 
 abiword to something more F/OSS friendly...
 
 However, documents written in the MS fonts will still cause this garbage 
   to render out. This should really be falling back to a sane font 
 proper though.
 
 Currently, the only real fix is to install webfonts.
