I have it working with no problems on 3 different machines. I've  
deactivated the foreign language fonts and some of the other nonsense  
fonts that come along with various apps.

There was a major issue with a font called "Times CE" causing all  
sorts of havoc in 10.3. Try disabling it with Apple's Font Book.   
Also try deleting the preferences for Appleworks.
