[PROBLEM]
Running Ubuntu Dapper Drake (6.06) as well as on Edgy Eft (6.10), I ran into a strange problem: Flash movies in Mozilla Firefox displayed everything, but: no text!

[SOLUTION]
Thanks to this entry we've been able to solve this in just a few minutes.

Seems that some fonts were missing, so simply run:

Code: Select all

apt-get install gsfonts-x11
and things should work as expected. :)
Jumping out of an airplane is not a basic instinct. Neither is breathing underwater. But put the two together and you're traveling through space!
