Comment(by martin.langhoff):

 Plain Abiword also has issues with Hershey fonts. Google finds various
 reports of breakage

  * http://code.google.com/p/font-manager/issues/detail?id=11
  * http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=6720240
  * blacklisted in old fontconfig http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-
 cvs-commits/2005-October/msg00806.html
  * OpenOffice blacklists them - but they appear on Abiwork on my F14
 desktop, showing the same problem as in our build

 Not easy to find which rpm they belong to -

 To do:
  * file at BZ (my bz account is blocked atm :-/ )
  * find a way to blacklist it
