Big problem with Flash+Firefox on arch64bit

Hi.
I'm using a sony Vaio  laptop, with Arch linux x86 64bit with Kde 4.3.1 firefox 3.5.2 and flash plugin v10, generally the system is fully upgraded.
Now I'm using also this flash library www.amcharts.com for a personal project.
If I access to the web page (www.amcharts.com) I can see the first big chart without any label just the line and the colors, and this is wrong! If I use windows platform with the same version of FF and Flash, all things works great, moreover the same correct result is reached if I use archlinux but on 32bitm, with, again, the same programs.
I need to perfom some presentation of the project, and I don't want to format a reinstall everything to switch to 32bit, I would like to remain in 64 environment, but I'm going mad to find a solution that seems unreachable.
I try also with Opera or Konqueror with the same plug-in but same problem

Thanks a lot for any good advice, it will be very appreciated

Cesare

PS: anybody with my configuration FF 3.5.* flash plugin 10 and archlinux x64bit can please try the site and let me know if he has my same problem? thank you

I think it renders fine here. Arch x86_64, gnome 2.26, firefox 3.5.2, flashplugin 10.0.32.18.

Thank you for the test.
I suppose the only difference now is I'm using KDE and you use Gnome, but it's really wierd!

Maybe it's a problem with the unavailability of certain fonts on your system? Try installing the following font packages:

ttf-ms-fonts
ttf-dejavu
ttf-bitstream-vera

I had the same problem and ttf-bitstream-vera solved it in this case.
I remember having similar problems in some flash games, what about adding those fonts as optional dependencies to the package?
