Hi Michael,
I agree embedding fonts in Flash is a pain.
I don't think you can define a range of characters in an exported
font symbol in the Flash IDE.
(as stated in www.betriebsraum.de).
developer.yahoo.com describes the flex approach.
You might try the following:
Define 2 dynamic text field off stage (one for each font) and define
the character range there.
These characters should now be available to all text fields in the .swf
*Should* work, but with Flash and font you never know :(

Something that should be sooo easy always seems to be a real
struggle in flash. I had finally worked out how to do it in as2 and
now all the parameters have changed again in as3.
I have read various articles on the subject and get most of it. I
have one swf with two font symbols exported in the library and used
registerfonts. These are now available in my other swf that is
loading them, however I want it to be multi lingual and therefore
have different font libraries.
The bit I am falling down on is defining the character sets. Now if
I had a texfield then I would just choose the character sets but I
cannot see how to do that with a font symbol.
Any help, different approach, links much appreciated, I hate flash
and fonts - nothing but a pain!!
Links I have already seen:

with-as3-flash-cs3-not-flex/
http://developer.yahoo.com/flash/articles/runtime-fonts-as3.html
Please note that this is for the flash IDE and not flex.
Cheers
