   Hi guys!
   I didn't make games with chinese support for couple years and now when I need to add chinese into the game again I found that it doesn't work anymore.

   I use embeded font without chinese glyphs (not bitmap font), and it seems that Starling (or Air) detected it and used some system fonts to render these symbols. But now it just shows empty textfields. I definitely didnt change anything related to font display. I use exactly same font, textfields etc. The only essential difference is adobe air version(worked in air18, now I'm using air26).

   Using default verdana fixes the problem (If you can call a fix the use of an ugly verdana instead of my beautiful one:)), but it is interesting to know what happened

   well, I don't know how many symbols are there. I just have some texts in my game and I got them translated to Chinese.. that's how I use it.. actually I didn't understand what you are asking about:)

   Hm, I didn't make any changes on my side that should influence this — at least not on purpose.

   TrueType font rendering still only uses the native "flash.text.TextField" class and draws it into a texture.

   If you display your content on such a native text field — just for a test — does that work better?
