If I set an input textfield to use a _sans system font, does it display Chinese characters?
Thanks.

The issue will be whether the system that is running your swf has a Chinese font installed.
_sans is the default ‘sans serif’ font installed on the system.
Typically PC’s in China will ;), Mac’s also have one installed by default.
This is a multi lingual presentation that pulls in text from an XML file. If I play this on my Mac and choose the Chinese option I see the font. If I run it on my UK based Windows XP machine it doesn’t display the font. The swf specifies the _sans font for anything other than latin languages. So Russian also uses the _sans font.

You could assume that people wanting to read information in Chinese would have a Chinese font installed on their system, therefore specifying _sans would be a solution.
