Yes.  Guy and Gordon are correct - going with system default is probably the
safest. Using custom fonts with international apps will require further
testing.

There is Arial Unicode which is a Microsoft font, and is included with the
default installation of Windows.  OS X is different, somehow, but does
include international fonts by default as well.

I don't know about Linux systems.

We have an app with multilingual support and we just use the default system
font.

Don't some device fonts (e.g., Arial on Windows?) include glyphs for large
portions of Unicode?

one or another setting in mysql, you must specify the client input to unicode 
(UTF8) what flex have does not matters .. but if you use UTF8 in the SQL DB you 
should use UTF8 in Flex

Google embedding fonts with Flex.  But keep in mind that the entire Unicode
library is something like 30 megs.

Also Google about localizing flex apps.

BTW, I just wanted to point out that the String type in AS is Unicode, so all 
text in Flex apps is Unicode.

We have an app with multilingual support and we just use the default  
system font. I haven't yet come across a character that Flash couldn't  
display. We get our text from mysql. You do have to fiddle with mysql  
a bit to make it talk unicode (set names=utf8 from memory)
