Abiword doesn't recognize fallback fonts in ODT files

Bug Description

I made a document with OpenOffice.org in which the font was Liberation Serif. OpenOffice.org must have specified Times New Roman as a fallback font.
When I opened that same document with Abiword on Xubuntu, Abiword must have thought it was one font, because the font showed up as
Liberation Serif', 'Times New Roman
and it defaulted to the default sans-serif font.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we can't fix it because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures

At a minimum, we need:
1. the version of ubuntu - use lsb_release -rd in a terminal to find this; copy and paste to the comments.
2. The version of Abiword - use apt-cache policy abiword in a terminal to find this; copy and paste to the comments.
3. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
4. the behavior you expected, and
5. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!

This bug no longer seems to exist in Ubuntu 8.10. After saving an ODT
file in OpenOffice.org Writer with the font Liberation Serif, it shows
up correctly in abiword.
