[solved] Non-alphanumeric characters broken in TinyChat

Hello, fellow archers.

I've been having a bit of trouble with the TinyChat site. Most non-alphanumeric characters are being displayed as crossed-out boxes. This problem is exclusive to TinyChat and has not occured in any other Flash applications.

An example of the broken characters:

Note how the / and > characters are not broken.

This is the second installation of ArchLinux on my computer, the problem occured on the current install only. I suspect the problem is caused by a missing package, though the only hint I was able to find was installing the ttf-ms-fonts package (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/br … ash_Player). This did not resolve the issue.

Package versions:
firefox 34.0.5-1
flashplugin 11.2.202.425-1

I'll gladly provide any other information that could help resolve this issue.

Problem solved, removing ttf-ms-fonts and refreshing the font cache helped. I am not entirely sure if there was not some other problem I solved unknowingly, but I'd like to request this topic be marked as solved either way.

As with most things Arch, you have to do this yourself -- edit the title of your first post & put "[SOLVED]" at the beginning.

Whops. The subject length was exactly at the maximum length, and since I couldn't edit the title any further, I thought a moderator had to edit it. Apologies!
