taat has some font tests used to collect font info about visitors.

They would be pretty useful to run to raise web designer awareness about the
fonts actually installed on free OSes.

Unfortunately, firefox+swfdec seem unable to run them

firefox-3.0.4-1.fc10.x86_64
swfdec-0.9.2-1.fc11.x86_64
swfdec-mozilla-0.9.2-1.fc11.x86_64
swfdec-gtk-0.9.2-1.fc11.x86_64

That's a lot of fonts. The problem is that the Flash file used to determine
these fonts is 0 size, and that in turn means that the play button is 0 bytes,
too. So you cannot make it play. I have no idea how to solve this though, so
I'm up for suggestions. (Anyone knows how Flashblock does it?) It's
interesting
in particular because quite a bit of invisible Flash is used to do sound
"effects" (read: annoying).

For this particular case there is a simple workaround: Set "autoplay ->
always
enable" from another swf, do the survey, go back to your previous autoplay
setting.
