Re: [Gnash-dev] text rendering broke

[strk]

It turns out that the problem is the unavaiability of a registered
renderer while paring.
The renderer is currently used during parsing to create bitmap_info.
This seems related to the caching strategy we were discussing with
Udo in the process documentation thread.

If we decouple cache creation from parsing the problem would go
away. A quicker solution is making sure a renderer is registered
*before* parsing, but it doesn't sound clean to me.
See task https://savannah.gnu.org/task/index.php?5837 for related
topic.
