Try going to Documents, New Window. Does any text show there? What
fonts are you using? What version of AbiWord are you using? This has
happened to me at times (I do Windows bug testing), but it is always a
temporary problem for me that a new view (created with Documents, New
Window) does not exhibit. Some video cards also have caused a few
incompatibilities, have you tried upgrading your video card driver?
What model is your video card?
