after trying to view pages with flashplayer 8, i discovered that macromedia has in fact failed to release any fp8 plugins for linux. not only that, but they dont intend to do anything till january 2007! @"!%$§

ok, after calming yself, the only way i got arround this was emulating the windows version of firefox with wine, and then installing the windows fp8 plugin. the only problem is, wine gave a crappy sans serif font to firefox and it look hidious and hard to read.
here is a screenshot:

how do i change the font that firefox uses? i've tried going to tools>options>content to change the font style, but no other fonts other than serif and sans serif are listed

any help is much appreciated.

thanks in advance!

Well, to suggest the obvious: maybe you could install some more fonts in wine? This used to be possible back in the days of winetools, but I haven't used wine lately. I don't know how it's supposed to be set up these days, I seem to remember reading that winetools was not recommended any more.
