wine users - Jun 2006 - Chinese fonts not displayed properly

Hi,

I've got Chinese Windows application that appears to have a problem with 
Chinese fonts under wine (emulating Windows 98). It's available from here: 
http://www.gtjadzh.com/ (download starts automatically after some seconds, 
filename is setup_dzh5_fuyi.exe. When running "wine
setup_dzh5_fuyi.exe" from
a console, I get get to see a window full of garbage characters (see 
attachment), although I successfully installed Microsoft's Input Method 
Editors (Chinese language pack, filename: scmondo.exe) from  

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=803A623E-C311-4591-A593-B0E24A6F38E8

If anyone could give me a hint about what to do, that would be great, 
otherwise I'll have to install an entire Windows system just for this single
program :(

Thanks,
Raimund

Hi,

This is related to the locale settings that you have. Even though you have
chinese fonts installed in either linux fonts relevant
directory (say /usr/share/fonts) or in the font dir within wine
(~/.wine/..../fonts), you will still need to set the locale correctly
in order to show chinese fonts in some applications. The attachments are two
examples of different locale which leads the display
in totally different outcomes. To run this program correctly, you can specified
the locale setting for the intended app, in this case

LC_ALL=zh_CN wine setup_dzh5_fuyi.exe

hope this helps you,

Does this problem go away if you run in WinXP mode?

Nop, tried winxp and  win2003, no luck for neither of them.
