Hello Joel!

Well, printing from KWord 1.1 and KDE 2.2.x was working for me.
Just make sure that Qt is at least 2.3.1 (not 2.2.4, as 2.2.4 had some 
problems when printing with TrueType fonts)

I think your current problem that fonts are not installed correctly.
Check wether:
1) there is a /etc/X11/XftConfig file on your system
2) it has references (lines) like:
dir "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
dir "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType"
3) those directories have some fonts inside :-)

--> than run from command line #xftcache
4) than open, say, 
dir "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
and look for XftCache file.
It should have some font names inside.
5) Try to use these fonts in KWord.

Hope this helps a litle bit!

P.S. well, if this *doesn't work* for you - well, you should look for a better 
distribution...
