Well this is mostly, but not entirely true – if you use this example:

Any of the Kozuka Gothic Pro family as your Font Symbol, then all characters and codepages appear to be embedded. I have verified this with Chinese, Russian and English texts all on the same page.

I grant you the resulting font file is massive…. specifically about 2.8meg but it does embed ALL the glyphs in the way i would have expected them all to work.

Spacing is wrong for russian – but the question is why?

I have the same problem here. No cyrilic text could be entered into the Input text field. But, if i remove wmode = “transparent” averything is OK. That’s not good for my case, because it necessary to use transparent flash. Well, it seems i’m gonna use not transparent flash

Actually there is a new bug out similar to this. If you try to embed Cyrillic fonts into an INPUT text in flash 8 / CS3 (by embed I mean embed in the text field) and by chance you happen to have wmode = “transparent” the fonts will NOT embed. This is a massive and annoying bug as far as im concerned. Removing the wmode fixes the issue.

I have experienced a similar type of problem in the past (I was using Arabic fonts).
My solution was to create an empty MovieClip and then draw my dynamic TextField in there, (often I’d type the name of the Font face in the field). Select the glyphs I want to embed and make sure that the MovieClip is set to export in the First frame.

This has worked well for me in the past.
