I have webfonts. In addition, I copied my Windows fonts to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts, thinking that might have something to do with it. >> (Actually, I only use wine in order to get flash9, so if anyone could >> help me solve this problem instead, that's even better.

I had already done these things, but the problem, I believe, is that linux firefox3 is a beta. As it happens, I now find that native firefox2 (2.0.0.20) works with my present setup, so I will simply use that version for the time being. I suppose linux firefox2 might also work, but there is no need for me to try it since I now have native firefox2, with flash9, with sound. -- Tore
