I wonder if there are different versions of Arial for different languages,
or even locales. I haven't explored it like you have, but I could see a
version of Arial for Baltic countries that has different glyphs from one for
Western Europe. Pure speculation, but that might be what you're seeing.

Well, I may be doing something wrong (if I am, I hope somebody points it
out). I'm doing a music program, and I've embedded three music fonts in the
library. I have a rather lengthy movie clip with different note and rest
values--my strategy is to put instances of this clip on-stage, then just
gotoAndStop("dq") (for dotted quarter).
Early on, I found that embedding the font in the library, then setting the
font in the text fields to that embedded music font, didn't work. I got
regular letters, probably in the system default font. I embedded the font in
the text field (a static text field), and it displays the music notes I
want.
Cordially,
Kerry Thompson
