Summary: 'Ÿ' is displayed instead of Japanese characters in Small Fonts font Product: Wine Version: CVS/GIT Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: wine-misc AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: ncliang@gmail.com
The following command should bring up the wiki page for Japanese kana: LC_ALL=ja_JP.UTF-8 wine iexplore http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kana
All kana characters are displayed as 'Ÿ'. A +font log shows that the font "Small Fonts" is selected to display the text. Typing Japanese into notepad and selecting the "Small Fonts" font also shows the text as 'Ÿ' while using some other font like "System" displays the text normally.
I notice that this only happens in ja_JP locale when jsmalle.fon is used as the "Small Fonts" font.
