I've tried installing Google Earth on Oneric (11.10) following instructions here: To do list after installing ubuntu 11.10

(Scroll way down or search the page for "google earth")

However with either method I end up with a very strange looking GE. I assume it is related to fonts, but I did install the mscorefonts as required by the created package.

Does anyone have suggestions? https://i.sstatic.net/wE3Xx.png

I can confirm that you need to install ttf-mstcorefonts-installer.

If you start the application after installation you get the picture shown in your question.

However on logout and login the fonts in the application behaves correctly...

  • I would just add that in my case I needed to reboot after installing the fonts in order to see google earth properly. Many thanks! –  Jun 23 '12 at 21:54

  • @JoshuaRobison - yours is a very different question so I'm not surprised this solution doesnt work for you. – fossfreedom Dec 05 '12 at 12:31
