Re: [Gnash-dev] text rendering broke

[strk]

I tracked the commit breaking this to a change in gui/Player.cpp
(my own commit).
The change is to avoid calling get_movie_info before opening
the SWF.

The get_movie_info simply reads the *whole* SWF and returns info
found in the header. Readin a *full* SWF includes fetching from
the net (for remote files), uncompressing (for compressed files)
and a bunch of function calls to the stream class. 
So, it *is* worth removing.

I see no obvious side-effects to that call, except maybe timing.

Since removing that call introduces text problems, I think this
bug is related to others that report startup_frames settin changing
text quality. Ie:
