a hack for codepage cp936

I saw a patch floating around to fix the problem for Chinese users. It
hardwired the cp396 (Simplified Chinese) codepage to
WineEngCreateFontInstance();.

It also has some font size manipulation which are irrelevant.

What the problem seems to be that the font had its charset set to
DEFAULT_CHARSET or ANSI_CHARSET, as a result, no proper charset translation can
be established.

I believe what should be done is:
if( lf.lfCharSet == DEFAULT_CHARSET || lf.lfCharSet == ANSI_CHARSET) {
   lf.lfCharSet = get_default_charset();
}

or it could be solved in some higher level where the hfont was first created.
