For the clubmed website, for most people, the problem is solved by installing msttcorefonts. As I have it installed (and reinstalled), I think it must be a missing symlink somewhere. --===============4349067427640304064== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Author: Wouter Stomp (wouterstomp-deactivatedaccount) Date: Sat, 29 Oct 2005 13:12:16 -0000 Message-Id: <20051029131216.5480.48651.malone@gangotri.ubuntu.com> I am experiencing the exact same problems on a fresh breezy install. I have msttcorefonts installed. I don't have the both liflash packages installed. Does it make a difference if you have flashplayer-nonfree or flashplayer-mozilla installed? I have the first. --===============4349067427640304064== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Author: Lionel Dricot (ploum-deactivatedaccount) Date: Sun, 30 Oct 2005 11:52:27 -0000 Message-Id: <20051030115227.5442.911.malone@gangotri.ubuntu.com> Wouter, I'm pretty sure now that there's a problem somewhere with the fonts. I've also the non-free one, like most people. I'm know convinced that all websites in this bug report use "gsfonts-x11", except clubmed.be that uses "msttcorefonts". For most people, installing those packages solve the problem. But if those packages were already installed, it may not work anymore, don't know why. Note that it doesn't work with a freshly created profile, so it's not something broked in the profile. It can be only a broken symlink... but WHERE ??? /etc/X11/fonts/ /usr/share/fonts/ /usr/share/X11/fonts/ Maybe one of those ? --===============4349067427640304064== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Author: cbudden (chrisbudden) Date: Fri, 04 Nov 2005 19:49:02 -0000 Message-Id: <20051104194902.10468.58864.malone@gangotri.ubuntu.com> Same problem for me.
