this just happened to be working. "wqy-zenhei" is a file name,
not the font name. Because it does not match anything, it is
the same as to delete this file.

As determined from my tests in #38
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/207198/comments/38>,
I believe the fundamental
issue is that flash plugin does not support glyph fall-back, and
always use the first font to render everything, even for
glyphs it does not cover. It would be great that Adobe
developers are aware of this and work out a fix. However,
I strongly support to commit a work-around (many of them
are listed in this thread) first. This is a high-priority
bug, and effects millions of users. A work-around, even
not perfect, can save tons of hours before the upstreams
finish their fixes. Please react before the next release
arrives, otherwise, the wait will be hopelessly long.
