I just got my hands on a Macbook Air and first thing I wanted to do was try out FlStudio's Beta. I downloaded the beta and started it up. I saw this to my dismay:

Solution

Ok, I guess this works. No text but any veteran FLStudio user knows his way around the software, butttt, It really makes it a challenge...so let's fix it anyway.

To fix this, you need to install a missing font: ARIAL.TTF

You have to place this file in 

"/Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/FL Studio/Bottles/flstudio/drive_c/windows/fonts"

Make sure you do not place it in your Macintosh HD/Library/...

but wait... there is no Library folder under your username!? That's because it is hidden. Follow these steps to reveal it:

1. Launch Terminal from Mac HD > Applications > Utilities.
2. From within Terminal type the following command and press Return:
   chflags nohidden ~/Library
3. Enter the system administrator password, if prompted, and press Return.

Now you can access the Library folder in your user folder.
