Description Frédéric COIFFIER 2006-07-17 04:07:40 UTC 
Since the x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0 upgrade, net-www/netscape-flash-7.0.63 doesn't more displayed some fonts.
For example, on this french website (no legend and upper toolbar has no text) :

Comment 1 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-07-17 05:05:25 UTC 
Works fine here... how about that you install the needed fonts, and/or fix your FontPath lines in xorg.conf?

Comment 2 Frédéric COIFFIER 2006-07-17 06:23:54 UTC 
I have installed all mentioned fonts :
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Xorg_and_Fonts

And my FontPath :
    FontPath    "/usr/share/fonts/misc:unscaled"
    FontPath    "/usr/share/fonts/Type1"
    FontPath    "/usr/share/fonts/TTF"

    FontPath    "/usr/share/fonts/dejavu"

    FontPath    "/usr/share/fonts/corefonts"
    FontPath    "/usr/share/fonts/freefont"
    FontPath    "/usr/share/fonts/sharefonts"

    FontPath    "/usr/share/fonts/terminus"
    FontPath    "/usr/share/fonts/ttf-bitstream-vera"
    FontPath    "/usr/share/fonts/ttf-gentium"
    FontPath    "/usr/share/fonts/unifont"

    FontPath    "/usr/share/fonts/truetype"
    FontPath    "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/symboles"

    FontPath    "/usr/share/fonts/kochi-substitute"

    FontPath    "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi:unscaled"
    FontPath    "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi:unscaled"
    FontPath    "/usr/share/fonts/intlfonts"
    FontPath    "/usr/share/fonts/artwiz"
    FontPath    "/usr/share/fonts/arphicfonts"
    FontPath    "/usr/share/fonts/baekmuk-fonts"


Secondly, it seems there is problem with a static path in the flash binary :
http://linux.inet.hr/flash_plugin_on_x11r7.html

But, for the moment, I can't solve the problem with these tips.

As said, it works just fine here, shrug. Additionally, don't see what kind of fix do you exactly expect from us for a binary proprietary stuff.
