I'm going to close this bug without any further explanations.

Wine *does not* emulate an existence of a certain font. If a font is missing it should be added, that was the case for Tahoma, that's the case for Times New Roman (bug 9623).
What's [HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-4\Software\Wine\Fonts\Replacements] for then?
That's a hack, and it has nothing to do with this bug.
jvgasys.fon does not contain japanese glyphs, a Windows one doesn't either.
Why is it chosen for the default Japanese font then?
Ask Microsoft?
It is not chosen in Windows because there the application works. So Microsoft has nothing to do with this one.
Indeed there is a difference between Windows and Wine. The System font does not contain Japanese glyphs on either system but in Wine it claims to support Japanese script - Notepad font dialog offers the choice of Japanese script for the System font in Wine but not on Windows.
Please stop re-opening this bug, it is invalid.
So you say that Wine not rendering some characters in aplications is OK, its not a bug?
That's a bug, but not a problem imposed by Wine as has been explain numerous times already, i.e. that's not a Wine bug.
So what is at fault here here? Wine is supposed to be a runtime for Windows applications. I have an application that works on Windows and not in Wine. But wine is not at fault. So what is?
