AbiMathView rendering problems

Hi,

the AbiMathView plugin ist quite a useful tool and I really like it.
However, sometimes it produces rendering errors for me.

For example, the mathml demo http://helm.cs.unibo.it/mml-widget/test1.xml
is not displayed correctly, while the standanlone viewer from gtkmathview
does it perfectly. The problem seems to be related to AbiMathView assuming
wrong metrics for certain characters. If, for instance, I use a "p" inside
an expression, the character following the "p" overlaps it as if the width
of the "p" is taken too small.

I have installed the Computer Modern fonts as ttf and AbiWord uses them.
Outside AbiMathView, AbiWord displays these fonts correctly and particularily
the width of the "p" is correct. Moreover, other gtkmathview applications
also using the Computer Modern fonts don't have this problem.

I'm using AbiWord-2.6.6 and gtkmathview-0.8.

Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

Best regards,
Erik
