Grateful for any hint. What exactly did you do to import those fonts? You should put them in a separate directory under /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts, create fonts.scale and fonts.dir in that directory using mkfontscale and mkfontdir, then run "fc-cache -f -v" and (for completeness) add a FontPath entry to your xorg.conf. Alternatively, you can install the x11-fonts/webfonts port, which contains the most commonly used fonts. > (Actually, I only use wine in order to get flash9, so if anyone could > help me solve this problem instead, that's even better.

Try to get it to work under linux-firefox first. - Remove all linux-*, linux_base-* and nspluginwrapper packages you've currently installed. - Remove any stale npwrapper plugins from the following directories and their subdirectories: ~/.mozilla/plugins /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins /usr/local/lib/npapi /usr/local/lib/firefox/plugins - Check that you have these settings in each file: * /etc/make.conf: OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=f8 * /etc/sysctl.conf: compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16 * /etc/rc.conf: linux_enable="YES" * /etc/fstab: linprocfs /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0 - Reboot or alternatively you can run these commands as root: sysctl compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16 mount /compat/linux/proc - Install www/linux-firefox and www/linux-flashplugin9. - Check if the plugin works in linux-firefox. - Install www/nspluginwrapper. - Run these commands as root: nspluginwrapper -v -i /usr/local/lib/npapi/linux-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so ln -sf /usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so /usr/local/lib/npapi/symlinks/firefox/ - Check if the plugin works in native firefox. This should get the plugin working, but it'll still crash or freeze the browser sometimes. You can kill the plugin with "killall npviewer.bin". You also might want to install a plugin like www/xpi-flashblock.
