in reply to Problem with SWF::Builder Installation?

I assume without having checked further that the module is talking about the Font::FreeType or Font::TTF modules, and that the files SWF/Builder/Character/Font/FreeType.pm and SWF/Builder/Character/Font/TTF.pm are just adaptors of the internal SWF API to each of the two modules.

    Thank you for your quick reply. I assumed that the error message referred to the Font::FreeType and Font::TTF modules. I don't know the answer to the question of adaptors.

    The links you gave in your reply point to different FreeType.pm and TTF.pm from those that come with the SWF::Builder distribution.

    I have checked and the SWF::Builder 0.16 variants are the only ones installed on my system.

    Any further suggestions welcome!

      I'm sorry that I didn't make it clearer previously. The SWF::Builder README file says that you need to install either Font::FreeType or Font::TTF for the SWF::Builder to work with fonts. So you will have to install one of the two modules.

        Sorry - I should have read the README and your reply more carefully! I now understand what you meant by adaptors. I have installed the TTF module and it all works fine.

        Sorry for being so thick and thanks for your patience.
