RE: [Swftools-common] character not found warnings using pdf2swf

[Robert Brueckmann]

Thanks Matthias...our Linux admin found that the FreeType libraries had
been updated and I guess swftools is not compatible with them.  He's
since reverted and added that update to our exclusion list...and all
works ok again.

Did you update your freetype library maybe? Are you using
the source or executable version of swftools?

If it's happening in the executable version, please email me that
PDF file.
