Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree
ii firefox 3.0~rc1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1
ii flashplugin-nonfree 9.0.124.0ubuntu2
some flash applets do not show some or all of the text that can be seen
using flash on other operating systems. I figured out that if I install
the msttcorefonts package, then the text shows up (after restarting
firefox).
strace'ing firefox shows:
...
open("/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/Arial.ttf", O_RDONLY) = 51
open("/usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/Arial_Bold.ttf", O_RDONLY) = 51
...
so it looks like flash plugin needs an Arial font or alias setup, which
doesn't seem to be the case with a default ubuntu install.
example flash applet exhibiting this behaviour:
