Details

When dynamic textfields are used with embedded fonts, the flash player doesn't draw glyphs that are not defined in the font. This behavior is different to how canvas draws text, where undefined glyphs are drawn using the default font. Example: http://swf.codeazur.com.br/archive/ab/73/95/11/ab739511300505fed294a5adf225ac32b3b10e801d86d5b30839838651eb21de.swf.

https://github.com/mozilla/shumway/pull/2289 sets Adobe Blank (https://github.com/adobe-fonts/adobe-blank) as the fallback font for all drawText operations to use non-spacing and non-marking glyphs for characters that are not defined in an embedded font. Anyway, we should have their license checked before landing this.
