oh dear... how embarrassing... this bug is STILL here in Lucid!! I can't even remember how long this has been around for.

Just in case any developers don't quite understand the implications of this bug... it means that:

Any Japanese, Korean or Chinese text in a flash video will not be viewable. That pretty much means that sites like Youtube which rely almost entirely on flash - and especially their equivalents overseas - will be COMPLETELY UNUSABLE.

So I would strongly recommend that the priority of this bug is upped and that it is squashed before the Lucid release... otherwise Ubuntu is bound to be a big flop in the most populated country on the planet... now that would be a shame. The fix is there... why isn't it implemented?
