Font missing after breezy upgrade !

it seems that it was not the Breezy upgrade but that the problem was already there.

 gsfonts-x11 and msttcorefonts are both installed

http://www.clubmed.be/ : the menus are empty.
http://kartoo.com/ : no text in the main interface. The yellow button is empty
http://kubla.be : no text in the buttons at the left
http://www.vipamat.fr/ : no text in the buttons at the left

With an exception for clubmed, who has never worked as far as I remember, the three others website were working without problem before the Breezy upgrade.

It seems like some fonts are missing or something like this...

I'm thinking about this but, can it be that fonts are not in the same place or that a symlink is missing ?

All things you are missing is - flash. Install flash player.

Ah, sorry, ignore my post :(

Deinstall:

libflash-mozplugin
libflash-swfplayer

neither are installed :-(
thank you anyway.

Hmmm... 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.

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.

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 ?

Same problem for me. Have both gsfonts-x11 and msttcorefonts installed.

This bug was solved today in Dapper with the new flash package.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=184028 looks like the same problem in fedora.

I am having a problem similar to this on one of my sites. www.alicialynch.com. Where my menu is on some computers, users are only seeing "t's". This is the first time that I have ever used flash for navigation. And I do not know what the problem is. Could it be that the proper font is not installed?

I also experienced this problem after upgrading from Breezy to Dapper.

I have no problem with a fresh install of Dapper, though.

Is there a way around this?

Thanks.

I had the same problem...

...until I've deleted the flashplayer files from ~/.mozilla/plugins
...and installed flashplugin-nonfree

Probably a leftover from a previous installation or Distro.

cheers,
Chris

Thanks for the tip, Chris but it didn't work for me :(

I already have flashplugin-nonfree installed and the flash player files in ~/.mozilla/plugns point to the flash player files in /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/, so I'm guessing everything should be working - but it's not :(

I had the same problem, after a dist-upgrade from Dapper to Edgy. After reading previous comments I tried:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall msttcorefonts gsfonts-x11

It fixed my problem.
