I'm pretty sure by default, right-to-left text is not supported in mobile. The mobile themes use TextField for memory and performance reasons which does not support right-to-left text.
Your test case is still not specifying a font. The default font I believe is Arial. So what this test may just be showing is that the Arial font on these devices doesn't support all characters. I still think you should find out what fonts are on these devices that do support Korean and explicitly set that as the fontFamily. There is a Font.hasGlyphs API you can use to see if the characters are available or not for TextField-based controls. Spark Label uses flash.text.engine and there are APIs like FontDescription.isDeviceFontCompatible. You may have to temporarily embed the font to get hasGlyphs to work. -Alex On 12/11/13 5:24 AM, "FlexForever" <[email protected]> wrote: >I did some comprehensive testing on various Android Versions regarding >Asian/Arabic Fonts. >It seems that less and less fonts are displayed correctly towards the >newer >Android Versions.
