I found a solution for the display of Japanese text that works on my
computer from this blog entry (Japanese):
http://blog.minawa.net/2011/10/hululinux.html

It seems that the Flash plugin refers to ttf-kochi-mincho, a font that
no longer is shipped with Ubuntu. Installing it will fix the display
issue instantly.

In a terminal, type:

sudo apt-get install ttf-kochi-mincho

Now, Kochi is a rather ugly font for a lot of people. Using a different
font requires a bit of hacking, you have to overwrite ttf-kochi-mincho
with something else. In this case we'll use Takao PGothic, one of the
default Japanese fonts in Ubuntu.

In a terminal, type:

sudo cp /usr/share/fonts/truetype/takao/TakaoPGothic.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/kochi/kochi-mincho-subst.ttf

You can replace 'TakaoPGothic.ttf' with any Japanese font you like.
Right now, I'm using one called 'Motoya L Cedar.'

Title:
  Adobe Flash Player 9 and 10 displays CJK text incorrectly

Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  Fix Released
Status in “flashplugin-nonfree” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “fontconfig” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “language-selector” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  On Ubuntu 7.10, Adobe Flash player 9 can display Chinese or Japanese
  (and likely Korean) glyphs, but on Ubuntu 8.04 it doesn't work,
  displaying "squares" for non-Latin glyphs instead.  It seems that
  "Bitstream Vera Sans" (with no font substitution) is used rather than
  "WenQuanYi Zen Hei" or other appropriate CJK fonts.  A screenshot is
  attached.

  Steps to reproduce:

   1. System -> Properties -> Language Support (from language-selector),
  and select one of the CJK locales as the default.

   2. Re-login as needed.

   3. Start Firefox and open e.g. http://www.tudou.com/ .

  The same problem still plagues Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (lucid) beta 1 with
  Adobe Flash Player: flashplugin-installer 10.0.45.2ubuntu1.
