Debian Firefox and no fonts in flash

Hi,

 I had some issues with my flash plugin under my debian linux: no fonts under pages without embeded fonts in swf. The problem was solved recreating fonts.dir in True type fonts directory. How we can recreate fonts.dir ?

Just change the directoy to your ttf diretcory (ex: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts ) and run
ttfmkfdir
and
mkfontdir

It seems flash plugin have harcoded font paths in binary:

strings /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so | grep fonts
/fonts.dir
find /usr/share/fonts/ -name fonts.dir
find /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts -name fonts.dir


if you dont have ttdmkfdir :
apt-get install ttmkfdir

if you dont have msttcorefonts:
apt-get install msttcorefonts

if you get errors like:
/usr/share/fonts/X11/encodings./mulearabic-2.enc.gz: No such file or directory

just edit encoding dir to target the good path
mc -e /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings/encodings.dir


Any other problems just post here. or read bugs.debian.org
