I would also try media-fonts/freefont-ttf if you don't have that installed. I decompiled the flash on that page and it's just using the generic "_sans" font, which should let it use any sans-serif font on your system. Maybe it can only use TTF fonts? I'm not really sure. If all else fails, here is the complete list of font packages I have installed on my machine: media-fonts/artwiz-aleczapka-en-1.3 media-fonts/corefonts-1-r4 media-fonts/dejavu-2.30 media-fonts/encodings-1.0.3-r1 media-fonts/font-adobe-100dpi-1.0.1 media-fonts/font-adobe-75dpi-1.0.1 media-fonts/font-adobe-utopia-100dpi-1.0.2 media-fonts/font-adobe-utopia-75dpi-1.0.2 media-fonts/font-adobe-utopia-type1-1.0.2 media-fonts/font-alias-1.0.2 media-fonts/font-arabic-misc-1.0.1 media-fonts/font-bh-100dpi-1.0.1 media-fonts/font-bh-75dpi-1.0.1 media-fonts/font-bh-lucidatypewriter-100dpi-1.0.1 media-fonts/font-bh-lucidatypewriter-75dpi-1.0.1 media-fonts/font-bh-ttf-1.0.1 media-fonts/font-bh-type1-1.0.1 media-fonts/font-bitstream-100dpi-1.0.1 media-fonts/font-bitstream-75dpi-1.0.1 media-fonts/font-bitstream-speedo-1.0.1 media-fonts/font-bitstream-type1-1.0.1 media-fonts/font-cronyx-cyrillic-1.0.1 media-fonts/font-cursor-misc-1.0.1 media-fonts/font-daewoo-misc-1.0.1 media-fonts/font-dec-misc-1.0.1 media-fonts/font-ibm-type1-1.0.1 media-fonts/font-isas-misc-1.0.1 media-fonts/font-jis-misc-1.0.1 media-fonts/font-micro-misc-1.0.1 media-fonts/font-misc-cyrillic-1.0.1 media-fonts/font-misc-ethiopic-1.0.1-r1 media-fonts/font-misc-meltho-1.0.1 media-fonts/font-misc-misc-1.1.0 media-fonts/font-mutt-misc-1.0.1 media-fonts/font-schumacher-misc-1.1.0 media-fonts/font-screen-cyrillic-1.0.2 media-fonts/font-sony-misc-1.0.1 media-fonts/font-sun-misc-1.0.1 media-fonts/font-util-1.1.1-r1 media-fonts/font-winitzki-cyrillic-1.0.1 media-fonts/font-xfree86-type1-1.0.2 media-fonts/freefonts-0.10-r3 media-fonts/intlfonts-1.2.1 media-fonts/lfpfonts-fix-0.83-r2 media-fonts/lfpfonts-var-0.84 media-fonts/terminus-font-4.30 media-fonts/ttf-bitstream-vera-1.10-r3 media-fonts/unifont-5.1.20080914 media-fonts/urw-fonts-2.4.9 media-fonts/x11fonts-jmk-3.0-r1
