ge has multiple issues (installing and running), eg lsb support
ln -sf /lib/ld-linux.so.2 /lib/ld-lsb.so.3
regarding only font ones there are some workaround
super speed:
/home/tux/google-earth/googleearth -fn n
less speedy, but more complete
install liberation-fonts (or corefonts) and mkfontscale/mkfontdir
root@slitaz:/home/tux# tazpkg -gi liberation-fonts
root@slitaz:/home/tux# tazpkg -gi xorg-mkfontdir
root@slitaz:/home/tux# mkfontscale /usr/share/fonts/truetype/liberation-fonts
root@slitaz:/home/tux# mkfontdir /usr/share/fonts/truetype/liberation-fonts
add font to x server
xset +fp /usr/share/fonts/truetype/liberation-fonts
in a single command
sh -c 'xset +fp /usr/share/fonts/truetype/liberation-fonts && /home/tux/google-earth/googleearth %f'
even more slow
download and extract
http://packages.linuxmint.com/pool/import/g/googleearth/googleearth_6.2.2.6613-r0_i386.deb
you can also play with .config/Trolltech.conf
eg.
