We use Tahoma on our world-wide country sites and so far, it has worked
fine for all of the character sets we've come across.

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Chinese / Japanese Text Input

 >Does anyone have knowledge they can share about the best way to 
guarantee that an end user will be able to enter text into a flash movie

using characters in their own language (ie Chinese or Japanese).

The only way which works always is to use device fonts: "_sans", 
"_serif", or "_typewriter". You cannot specify the font, because there 
is no such font that contains all the characters used in all the 
languages in the world!

By the way it does not make any differences between those 3 device fonts

- some languages display in generic sans font but some other does in 
serif, regardless of the font settings.
