I found a solution for the display of Japanese text that works on my computer from this blog entry (Japanese): http://blog.minawa.net/2011/10/hululinux.html
It seems that the Flash plugin refers to ttf-kochi-mincho, a font that no longer is shipped with Ubuntu. Installing it will fix the display issue instantly. In a terminal, type: sudo apt-get install ttf-kochi-mincho Now, Kochi is a rather ugly font for a lot of people. Using a different font requires a bit of hacking, you have to overwrite ttf-kochi-mincho with something else. In this case we'll use Takao PGothic, one of the default Japanese fonts in Ubuntu. In a terminal, type: sudo cp /usr/share/fonts/truetype/takao/TakaoPGothic.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/kochi/kochi-mincho-subst.ttf You can replace 'TakaoPGothic.ttf' with any Japanese font you like. Right now, I'm using one called 'Motoya L Cedar.' -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/207198 Title: Adobe Flash Player 9 and 10 displays CJK text incorrectly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-translations/+bug/207198/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
