[SWLUG] GTK, fonts and Flash

[Steve Anderson]

Hello all.

A couple of questions I suspect somebody will be able to answer for 
me... fingers crossed!

First up, I've got aMule running to provide me with my fix of MAME ROMs 
and as-yet-unbroadcast sci-fi TV. It uses GTK for its windowing needs. 
Now, in Gnome I can use it perfectly; however under XFce (which is also 
GTK based) the font's knackered and all I can see is lots of little 
rectangles. I'd rather run XFce because it's a little more responsive on 
my old Via C3 box. Any ideas? I thought the fonts were handled either by 
X or by GTK, but clearly not...

The other annoyance I'm looking to solve is integrating Flash support in 
Moz. I've got the plugin from Macromedia, and run the installer, and it 
says all is fine - yet still I get the cyan jigsaw-piece. I presume this 
is a MIME problem - am I right?

FYI, I'm running an 'unstable' Debian box. Hardware-wise it's an all-in 
one cheapy motherboard (including the processor which is a surface 
mounted C3) which Red Hat 9 had no problems with.

Cheers

Steve
