netscape-flash is not fully functional unless corefonts is installed. Without corefonts, flash cannot display text, such as timers for youtube videos or myspace playlists. Installing corefonts fixes the problem. netscape-flash should depend on corefonts being installed. Reproducible: Always
corefonts added as dependency.

Can someone give me a direct URL to such a flash that would need fonts? I don't have/use myspace nor do I know how to use timers on youtube videos (I don't remember seeing anything like that). I have replaced corefonts with liberation and netscpafe-flash is the only package which pulls them on my system.
sure, actually any youtube video will do, e.g.: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yWVop7TdIY Immediately to the right of the progress/position bar, there should be a timer, in this case it starts at "0:00 / 0:20". If you don't have the proper fonts installed, this timer won't display.
