How do I display traditional chinese in wine?

Can you be more explicit about what the problem is,
for those of us who don't speak chinese?

If you can give us a URL that reproduces the problem using
Wine's built-in web browser, that would be best, as it would be
very easy for us to reproduce and compare with native Firefox.

I tried testing by doing
$ wine iexplore http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/cjk_unified_ideographs.html
and it looked ok to me, but then I don't know Chinese.

I'm running wine on osx tiger ported by macport

i'm using a windows app called isilo to read .pdb files. 
the chinese characters didn't get encoded properly and turned into a bunch
of squares.

i tried to use LC=ALL zh_TW wine isilo.exe but it's still displayed as
squares. I figured I'll need to change some locale settings in wine but
i'm sure where to look.

You might take a look at this thread:

thanks for all the help, dimesio and DanKegel! 

i found another way to view the traditional chinese on the app.

1. install darwine
2. copy pmingliu.ttf to your darwine fonts folder, which is under
.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts

Success! =)
