Fixing fonts in Flash on Ubuntu
Since installing Ubuntu Linux I've had problems with fonts displaying incorrectly or not at all in Flash while browsing the web with Firefox, particularly annoying if you are trying to use Google Analytics. The solution is simple, and in the documentation! It seems I didn't read the Flash installer text properly first time.
You simply need to install the gsfonts-x11 package, and msttcorefonts if you haven't already.
sudo apt-get install gsfonts-x11 sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts
You'll need to enable the Multiverse repositories to be able to install msttcorefonts.
