DSL Tips and Tricks :: Fixing flash player text problems

I'm no font expert, but as i understand it xfs is not directly related to any particular type of font, Xft is used for freetype or opentype (roughly equivalent to truetype?), and pcf are bitmap fonts that are mostly what is used in DSL. I don't really know what xft is used for in DSL, though...this version seems to be incompatible with most modern applications that use xft for scaling and whatever else is handy in a truetype font.

Kerry, Abiword does indeed bring the correct font packages with it. You still need to get XFree86 working for the flashplayer fonts. I noted the easier way in the original post. Thanks for the tip!
