Doesn't work for me on desktop too. I suspect that's related to the fact that we're falling back to device fonts when no embedded font is found (the font here is embedded). I doubt it's web-related, we just somehow don't manage to display the embedded font from the SWF.

Alright, so upon further testing it seems that it's a bug on desktop that the text is showing at all. Flash Player does not show the text, which makes sense because the text shouldn't be rendered when the embedded font is missing, and in this case it is. The text requires the font SimSun, but the SWF provides only fonts: MS PGothic, Comic Sans MS, SimHei, Arial.

I suspect the SWF is broken or is was meant to be used as a part of something bigger.

Can you verify whether the text is not shown using Flash Player for you too? (to make sure it's not locale- or device-font-related)

We repaired the swf file, Embedding bold text,but the text in this code still cannot be displayed correctly
desktop and Flash Player (normal display)

web(Unable to display text in code)

The desktop version is already compatible with Chinese character references. I hope the web version will be compatible.

Here is the new swf

The text you're referring to requires device fonts to work (SimHei), which basically means that the SWF is not portable because instead of providing its own fonts, it requires that the user has fonts installed. I don't have this font so it doesn't work for me on desktop too, and it is problematic on web, where we don't have access to device fonts. See https://github.com/ruffle-rs/ruffle/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions-For-Users#how-do-i-change-the-fonts-used-by-flash-on-my-website

Of course the text shows for me in Flash Player, and it's a bug that it does not show in Ruffle.

I also encounter this issue. Are there any progress updates recently?

There's no progress currently. It requires implementing proper glyph fallback.

That issue has been fixed but only on Linux desktop for now. We'll be working on extending platform support to web too.
