Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install "DFP太丸ゴシック体" font on Mac. * This JP font is contained in Mac:Office2008. It's in the attached zip.
2. Download the attached unicodeRange and unicodeRangeShort mxml files
3. Adjust the source url in unicodeRange for your system
4. Compile the mxml file

Actual Results:
Compile Error
Error: exception during transcoding
Error: unable to build font
Error: unable to transcode

Expected Results:
No compile error, when run the font is properly embedded

Workaround (if any):
Shortening the unicodeRange property will compile (unicodeRangeShort.mxml). Not embedding the font.
Note that changing to the AFEFontManager didn't solve the problem.

I think this has to do with the length of the unicodeRange property, since if you halve the unicodeRange string, either half will compile, but not both when put together.
