I installed Google Earth 5.0 and the ugly UI font from the beta is still here.
Based on the comments from Google Earth Help page from here I’ve created the following script wich will fix the user interface font issue.

Thank you for the Script!
Worked like a charm….
do you just copy and paste the above in a terminal
do use this at all #!/bin/bash sorry new to this
Bill
#!/bin/bash at the beginning tells the system which program to use to run the file.
You can skip this and enter each command at a time to your console.
