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).
