My system is set to zh_CN.UTF8, not english. My opinion put on the table for discussion is that even font-link is a proper way, it is still worth to add such a switch/patch, because work out of the box is very important user experience, very few user who want to try linux will read the wiki. (meaning, if we could make wine to do the font-link automatically, then this patch may not be needed at all...)
Is that really hard to create a .reg file with a couple of lines in it with font linking information appropriate for a target system? That's called "packaging" and "user support".
I will search for official information about font-link on the wine site, to see if I can succeed with it...
I'd suggest to read MSDN instead.
