Hi Tom,
Thanks for the quick reply.

It's the same font in both the cases. I embedded the "Trebuchet MS" font
earlier and in the second case I referred to the "Trebuchet MS" as a
device font. I'll just post the css in both cases here to make sure I
have conveyed the right issue.
Scenario one (embedding the Trebuchet font):// --- in this case the
non-latin characters do not appear
@font-face {
src:local("Trebuchet MS");
fontFamily: myFont;
advancedAntiAliasing: true;
}
global{
fontFamily: myFont;
}
Scenario two (referencing the Trebuchet font on the client machine): //
--- in this case the Japanese/Chinese/non-latin characters appear
global{
fontFamily: "Trebuchet MS";
}

Tried that ... but that increases the swf file size by a lot if I were
to use a font that has the Japanese and Chinese glyph set.
I was hoping there was a way to embed fonts and still get the behavior
of looking up device fonts for glyphs that are not supported by the
embedded font (as is the case if I don't embed the font). Please let me
know if I am missing something here.
