There appear to be several text issues in D11 on Mac OSX 10.4.11 and 10.5.2.
First problem being that setting the style of text to bold or italic doesn't
show any change. This occurs in both Shockwave and D11 projectors.

Second using Chines Unicode font Song the text in fields sometimes disappears.
Its still there since calculations based on the content of those fields still
works but no text is visible onscreen.
This font also has the problem where the text will not change to bold.

Anyone else seenig anything like this or have a solution?

Thanks
EDB

I just installed D11 and noticed some funny stuff with Chinese. I don't have any solution, but I just wanted you to know you're not alone.

It is possible that if the font doesn't have Bold and Italics information, then
the style may not appear. Can you let me know which font you are trying out
with?

Chinese Unicode font, can you give more info on the font? Which font? which
version? I can try it out in my machine...

IF we are now limited to setting only font styles that are specifically defined
in the font we're in real trouble.
This is NOT the way it worked in all previous version of Director that I've
used (7, 8, 8.5 MX, MX 2004).
The project I'm converting to D11 deals with font styles as I would expect in
MX 2004 on the very same machine with the same fonts that D11 refuses to make
bold.

This is the Chinese font information from my Mac...

the text rendering engine was completely rewritten to be independent of the OS, so I would suspect that's why you're seeing the differences in D11 vs. any previous version.
