Description Alex Jones 2005-11-15 12:41:49 UTC

Check out the screenshot from Google Analytics for an example. Any Flash file
that uses device fonts seems to do the same.

http://www.homestarrunner.com/ (links at the bottom)
http://www.macromedia.com/ (links at the top, search box, etc.)

Even those rubbish MSN Search adverts that let you type in a search do the same.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load the movie
Actual Results:  
Fonts are horrible

Expected Results:  
Fonts are nice

If this requires extra configuration to work, this should probably be part of
the ebuild process?
