I'm not sure if this works for Japanese text, as a Font Symbol does not
include Japanese font outlines even for a Japanese font. (This behaviour
may be different on Japanese version of Flash IDE, but I don't know.)
The only way I know is to embed fonts into TextFields manually. But then
you can embed only one style per TextField and you cannot mix styles
such as bold and italic in one TextField.
(These issues were the points of the original poster if I understood
correctly.)
If you really want, you can create 3 extra dummy TextFields per font,
and embed bold, italic and bold-italic styles. After that you can mix
all these styles in one TextField.
However this has a heavy penalty - about 9MB for just one font.
Use _sans or _serif as in Zeh's post…
