[Gnash-commit] [bug #38243] Gnash didn't display text on Incubate Pictures homepage

[Bastiaan Jacques]

Update of bug #38243 (project gnash):

                  Status:                    None => Confirmed              
             Assigned to:                    None => bjacques

Follow-up Comment #2:

The unimplemented features aren't very important. The cause of text not being
displayed is that the SWF defines TEXTRECORDs with HTML text. Gnash parses the
HTML and encounters <FACE> tags, which will make it try to find a device font
for the requested font, which it is permitted to do per spec even though the
SWF embeds the font. In this case, the font searched for is esoteric enough
that few people can be expected to have it installed, but Gnash doesn't check
whether the font is found. Presumably, Gnash should fall back on the embedded
font when no appropriate device font is available.
