Yes, I've had similar problems. I think the issue is, the fonts are
specified in the swf, but not embedded, and they don't exist on the
linux system by default. What the flash player SHOULD do, is fall back
onto a default font (better to have it be ugly, then not display at
all).

fonts, see here: http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/

But this is not really acceptable from a developer's point of view,
having to ask your users to install fonts to view your website.

Also, make sure you aren't using wmode=transparent or anything in your
html file, I think that can cause problems with some linux webbrowsers
as well.
