Flex and full UTF-8 Support?

Hi,

Doing some software review for a RIA project - I was hoping to use Flex but need to make sure it has full UTF-8 support - I'm talking all fonts for all languages - everything from English, to Finish, to Russian, to Japanese to Thai to Sanskrit...

I haven't worked with Flash/Flex/ActionScript in years - but I seem to remember it's up to the font you embed into the movie - so if you have, say MS Arial UniCode that has the full character set you simply include in the movie and the support is there to display the characters? Is this right?

Also including that level of character support(that large a font) -how much does that bloat the application?

Any insight would be helpful as I am still in the information gather stage. Other software suggestions would also be appreciated.

Thanks JD
