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
