Hello,

We have created an application where some Chinese texts need to be displayed. The text filelds have been created dynamically and Chinese Texts are retreived from an XML. [The file has been created with AS 2.0]

We have experienced - that

1. [Version CS5- Platform Windows 7] - When setting the TextField.embedFonts property to TRUE, even when we create a new font in the library and provide an identifier to be exported, the fonts do not appear. But, interestingly setting embedFonts property to FALSE shows those Chinese characters.

2. [Version CS5- Platform Windows XP, SP 3] - The Chinese characters does not show up at all, and unknown characters are shown.

Could we have some possible explanation as why the outcome become different.

Any help/suggestion will be highly appreciated.

Best Regards,

Arup.
