I am installing RC1 but I realize the flash player shows no text in both firefox and konqueror. I tried both running the script from the tar ball and apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree. I have already have gsfont and gsfont-x11 installed. I also installed msttcorefonts but still no luck.

Usally best install is the automated download within FF. msttcorefonts give the rest. |

But still: there are font-problems with flashplugin-nonfree as well, and I use all kinds of fonts mentioned on all kind of Linux websites and here in the forum.

piper,
I really would love to see that Adobe-Macromedia-sh*t blown to the moon, but unfortunatelly it's part of web life. And more and more I come across flash-sites, where I cannot read the letters, and I really have installed quite a lot of fonts, for sure all common fonts (open and proprietary). And I think, it's not Linux, it's the flash for Linux, they are producing, which is faulty. Just say that without being able to verify it, of course.

I agree with "Adobe-Macromedia-sh*t blown to the moon" hehe lol
While we both know it's not going away I just wish they (Adobe) could do a better (and support) with linux. |

piper,
possibly there are signs that there are more Linux users than we think. As I see the german news magazine www.spiegel.de have gone back to flash 7 for their video-news. I am sure, they used flash 8, because I was not able to watch them a few months ago under Linux. Maybe somebody else might confirm that.
But I am not sure if Adobe care that flash is some kind of standard as "being widely used".

hubi, for me it said that I need flash 8, and yes I don't think adobe cares either.
h2, i wonder if flashplugin-nonfree is the difference, I am going to uninstall this and go to that in ff. |

h2,
if you mean:
http://www.autobahn.nrw.de/olsim3_1/rgwest30.html
The only common font that has not been installed was Tahoma, I have done that now and restarted X. Still no hope. What could that font be. It might really be only a font issue.

I switched to "flashplugin-nonfree" instead of "flashplayer-mozilla" and I am using tahoma fonts, I still can't see text on the left. I have tried tahoma, free sans, bitstream and verdana, very odd |

Another thing. A right click on a flash brings up a context menue and there is sg like "configuration" ("Einstellung" in German), there are no fonts anymore either - they definitely were always there. That's weird.

h2,
unfortunatelly no change in behaviour: did the bug-trick, restarted X.
Btw.: do designers use Marlett? Don't have that one.
Thanks,
hubi |
