(AS3) Different fonts for each language in the text field

I have a textfield with about 100000 characters.
Is there a way to display different fonts for each language in this field?
(For example) English=>"Arial", Hangul=>"Malkun Gothic"
If possible, please provide sample code.

    Hi.

     

    You can create a new TextFormat instance, change the font property and apply this TextFormat instance to the target text field using the defaultTextFormat property.

    I think my question is wrong.
    The text field contains a mixture of English and Korean.
    In this case I am asking how to apply different fonts for each language.

    If that's the case, you need to use the htmlText property. Among other things, it makes possible to use more than one font face in the same text field.

     

    Example:

     

    yourTextField.htmlText = '<p><font face="Times New Roman">Lorem ipsum</font></p>\n<font face="Arial">Lorem ipsum</font></p>';
