What's wrong with Flash? [SOLVED]

I just did a reinstall of Gentoo exactly the way I had it before, but now I have an issue with Flash. I emerged netscape-flash and I have the flash and firefox USE flags in my make.conf, and I emerged Firefox, and Flash works, but I can't see any text at all whatsoever. Flash does work, and it says that Flash is working, but on sites that use Flash and have text, I can't see any of the text, only the images and stuff. Why can't I see the text in Flash all of the sudden?

You are likely missing a couple of fonts it requires. I remember reading that somewhere, but I can't remember where and which fonts (I believe it may be gnu-gs-fonts-std). In any case, here are the fonts I have installed and have no problems:

media-fonts/artwiz-fonts
media-fonts/corefonts
media-fonts/dejavu
media-fonts/encodings
media-fonts/font-adobe-100dpi

media-fonts/font-adobe-utopia-75dpi
media-fonts/font-adobe-utopia-type1
media-fonts/font-alias
media-fonts/font-bh-100dpi
media-fonts/font-bh-lucidatypewriter-100dpi
media-fonts/font-bh-ttf
media-fonts/font-bh-type1
media-fonts/font-bitstream-100dpi
media-fonts/font-bitstream-75dpi
