Re: text not displaying in non-local browser

I think this is a well-known issue for the Linux version of the Flash  
player, that you have to install these standard fonts to get a  
functioning player.  It's not restricted to OpenLaszlo -- it happens  
on all swfs that use these 'standard' fonts.

I'm not the expert here, but I bet there is a convention that the  
'standard' fonts are never embedded.
