my font replacements
Change the fonts to ones that are on your system.
The funny thing is, I *have* all these fonts. Nevertheless, it works. Thank you!
The only entry that is actually required in this case is
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Fonts\Replacements] "ＭＳ ゴシック"="MS Gothic"
In other words, even though the original MS Gothic is available, and WINE uses it in other contexts just fine (including the in-game text for this very game), something about the way it's accessed here via its Japanese name prevents it from being found.
I get the rationale that actual font replacements (for missing fonts) are system-dependent and thus out of scope for WINE, but this still feels like a bug. Windows will find the font using either name, after all.
Is there an elegant way to have such registry entries added to all new prefixes, ideally regardless of WINE version?
(I also attached working versions of the two screenshots, to document how the "missing" font affects the layout and style of the dialogue; it's not just missing text.)
