Public bug reported: Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree
ii firefox 3.0~rc1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 ii flashplugin-nonfree 9.0.124.0ubuntu2 some flash applets do not show some or all of the text that can be seen using flash on other operating systems. I figured out that if I install the msttcorefonts package, then the text shows up (after restarting firefox). strace'ing firefox shows: ... open("/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/Arial.ttf", O_RDONLY) = 51 open("/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/Arial_Bold.ttf", O_RDONLY) = 51 ... so it looks like flash plugin needs an Arial font or alias setup, which doesn't seem to be the case with a default ubuntu install. example flash applet exhibiting this behaviour: http://www.grabaseat.co.nz/ ** Affects: flashplugin-nonfree (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- some text not displayed in flash applets - fonts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/239426 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
