--- Comment #6 from Qian Hong fracting@gmail.com 2012-01-31 09:38:22 CST --- Hello, I've do some bisect and found some interesting things. To describe clearly I'll split my test result into three comments.
According to http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16325#c88, fontlink should work after wine-1.1.22
Bug 16325 is original reported to wine-1.1.9, so I retested with wine-1.1.9 and wine-1.1.22.
However, seems Tahoma (and other fonts) fontlink don't work for Chinese, the below result is exactly the same for wine-1.1.9 and wine-1.1.22 : - in Wine notepad, set font to Tahoma, Chinese characters display as some squares, such as "口口口" - set font to "System", Chinese characters display as some small lines such as "||||". - set font to "MS sans serif", Chinese characters doesn't display at all, they are empty
- If I import the registry file to override "MS sans serif" font, then all the three fonts work perfectly in wine notepad
The mentioned registry file can be download here: http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=38583 ( see also Bug 27444 )
