wine users - Nov 2011 - BIG5 problem in Foxpro table

Hi,

   I am new for wine, I just install wine and copy the VFP6 from windows to
wine. The VFP6 can run in wine. However, there are some problems about showing
BIG5 chinese character.

   When I open the VFP6, I can input chinese in command window, however, the
BIG5 character in the table become unreadable character, the chinese character
can show using the command '? fieldname' to console. Also, it can
display if assigned to label caption. BUT it cannot shows in the control which
directly linked the controlsource to the field. Also when using BROW to open the
table, the BIG5 characters in the field display in unreadable character...When
copy the character in the field and paste to other area like notepad, terminal,
text box in web browser. it will show the original chinese character.

   Any setting in wine to correct it? Or it is the problems of VFP6 ?


Thanks
Simon

You could try winetricks allfonts.

If that doesn't fix it, it could be a registry problem.
Because most installers set up registry entries that the
application will need in order to work properly, you
ordinarily need to install the application into wine, just
as you would install it on Windows, rather than copying
its .exe and .dll files from a Windows installation.
Another possible approach is to export the application's
entries -- NOT the entire registry -- from the Windows
installation, and import them into the Wine registry,
using the corresponding registry editors.
