The problem in fonts really . Tahoma font attached with wine have only English characters , so the perfect way to solve this bug is multi language Tahoma font.
Not only for Arabic also for other languages .
Second limited way that to make "Arial" as default font.
Very Correct.
You can do this by changing "MS Shell Dlg" to Arial.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->Software->Microsoft->Windows NT->CurrentVersion->FontSubstitutes
look for MS Shell Dlg which is now set to Tahoma, set it to Arial instead.
That seems to work on my Linux VM in Arabic.
