Thanks Kerry,
Using Linotype FontExplorer to view detailed font information it
seems Arial is missing the specific glyphs that are causing me
problems(u+0218/19; u+21A/B). Strangely enough, I have managed to get
the flash to display those characters in Arial!?
I have noted that Hoefler Text contains these characters and will run
some tests using this font.
Now, the typeface I really want to use for the project is Franklin
Gothic Demi. I have found a URW++ version that I understand contain
these glyphs.
This issue with all text fields having to specifically be instructed
to embed - I don't seem to remember having this issue previously.
Regards,
Fredrik

Anyone's been through something similar and could shed some light?
Hi Fredrik,
You mentioned that you are using the Arial font. While it is a
Unicode font, it may not have all the glyphs you need for Eastern
European languages. Unicode means that the characters it has are
Unicode, but it doesn't mean it has all the glyphs--would you
expect, for example, Inuit, Khmer, or Tibetan?
I would recommend you try Arial Unicode, which is different from
Arial. It has a much more complete character set, including
languages such as Chinese and Japanese.
You mentioned also that you were embedding the font. I would make
sure the font is embedded in every text field--embedding it in the
library, and then using the font from the library doesn't work, as
I have found out the hard way.
Cordially,
Kerry Thompson
