[Bug 258778] Re: Firefox 3 in Ubuntu- No text, just lines showing on most web sites e.g. google

[LowLightImages]

Problem solved:

I had simply copied the MS TT fonts to a font folder on the Linux
machine & run font update. Looking at the other fonts in the folder I
noticed that the filenames either had a "tt-" prefix to the font name or
nothing - i.e. no ".ttf" postfix.

I renamed all the files from "xxxx.ttf" to "tt-xxxx", re-ran the cache
update and everything now works :) The fonts are all available in OO3
Writer etc. I'm guessing there's a piece of code somewhere that doesn't
like filenames with a full stop in them :) If I get time, I'll try &
find it & fix it but as I don't know my way around the X11 font system
at all, don't hold your breath!

As usual, my thanks to all the people who do work on OO software
