Hi Glen,
I don't think it's possible to embed a range of characters through AS3.
It's all or nothing I'm afraid/

Hi,
I am working on some runtime font embedding with Flash CS3 by
loading in a SWF at runtime with font symbols defined in library,
exported for Actionscript, but not for sharing.
I wish to use Arabic and Chinese characters in my fonts, so I
have symbols for Arial and MingLiU Bold fonts.
The problem I am having is that the Arabic / Chinese characters
do not seem to be included in the Font Symbol / SWF. I have tried
putting a text field on stage and embedding the character ranges
for each symbol, but still no luck.
In my "Loader", I am loading the fonts, then some XML and using
Font.hasGlyphs(string) to see if my Chinese / Arabic / other
characters can be rendered with any of my loaded fonts, then
defaulting to system fonts if they are not.
I can get that far, but I would really like to embed / anti-
alias the fonts better, etc.
So, is it possible to ensure that the CS3 IDE embeds a range of
characters, or would I have to do the fonts using Flex / Flash
Develop and [Embed] with unicode ranges to create my font swfs?
Thanks in advance.
Glen
