The problem with Chinese characters and a few other sets (japanese,
etc) is that there are too many of them for you to embed, so it either
becomes a case that you need 2mb+ of embedded fonts, or simply set the
textfield to use "_sans" or "_serif" as its font. It should work on
this case, because technically Chinese characters aren't different
from, say, Cyrillic characters; they're just much bigger in number.
Sorry for being dense, but how will setting the textfield to "_sans"
enable Chinese fonts?
Using _sans or _serif instructs the Flash render to use the system's
font drawing methods instead of trying to use an embedded font. It's
equivalent to using non-attached fonts; they won't necessarily have
antialiasing (depends on the system), they might render differently and
with variable size (also depending on the system you're testing), you
won't be able to rotate them or apply alpha transparency (not directly
at least), you won't be able to use them in masks... but it's the only
way to use 'advanced' characters such as Chinese and Japanese without
actually embedding the font.
