Firefox flash plugin on ubuntu linux displays no text
I’ve installed firefox flash plugin on ubuntu as firefox asked me to install. But I found out that text is no displayed. After some hours and google searches i found out that the problem is gsfonts-x11 package which was not installed on my ubuntu distributon. As I did
sudo apt-get install gsfonts-x11
The text suddenly appeared in the flash movies displayed by firefox web browser.
Great tip! I remember this problem from before, but when I reinstalled my OS I completely forgot!

Thanks so much for this tip. But please tell me how one would know that this was a necessary prerequisite to get Flash to display text in the browser?

Dominic> Yes there are plenty of things on Linux OS you have to discover again and again. You can never know what you will have to discover to fix one or another bug.
