Peter, you're definitely on to something!!!
Yes by system fonts I meant device fonts, and it wasn't Arial, it's
Comic Sans (ok, I admit it, shame on me for using it). I installed
msttcorefonts on my linux machine so it's the same old TTF from
Windows.
If I comment out the Batik and the other manager and only leave this
in my flex-config:
<!-- Compiler font manager classes, in policy resolution order-->
<managers>
<manager-class>flash.fonts.AFEFontManager</manager-class>
</managers>
my build fails!
/home/svnadmin/mockups/trunk/trunk/skins/sketch/sketch.css(19): Error:
exception during transcoding: No FontManager provided. Cannot build
font.

So it appears that my linux machine doesn't have the AFEFontManager,
but how can it be? Is it a file I need to install? I've searched my
local HD and didn't find anything.
We're so close, I can feel it! :)
