I have a project that uses shared fonts. The fonts are all contained
in a single swf ("fonts.swf"), are embedded in that swf's library and
are set to export for actionscript and runtime sharing.

The text in the project is dynamic and is loaded in from external XML
files. The text is formatted via CSS styles.

This project needs to be localized into 20 or so different languages.

Everything works great when I use English text but I need to use
foreign language character sets as well and I can't figure out how to
set which character set gets exported for runtime sharing. For
example: I want to create a fonts.swf that contains Korean characters,
change the XML based text to Korean and have the text display
correctly but I can't figure out how to force flash to export the
Korean character set for the fonts embedded in the library.

I've tried changing the language of my OS as explained here:

http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_16275

without success. One portion of the instructions that seemes vague
under the heading "Change the codepage for the system" is the final
line of text: "In addition, the user needs to choose the target system
default language/regional encoding during authoring." I'd love to have
a more explicit explanation of how to do that. How do you choose the
target system default language/regional encoding during authoring?

I've also tried adding substitute font keys to the registry (at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes) as outlined here:

but the fonts I added did not show up in Flash's font menu.

I know there must be a simple solution that will allow me to embed
language specific character sets for the fonts embedded in the library
but I have yet to discover what it is.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
