What's your locale?
Normally en_US.UTF-8 but his renders garbage instead of the Japanese characters. So I run LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 wine testwin.exe which renders expected number of characters but the Japanese ones aren't displayed - only spaces or black squares are rendered instead.
However, there is no point in using Windows fonts here. There are several fonts that would cover all characters that can be encoded in EUC_JP in the system already.
Do they have the same attributes as the Windows ones (font name, glyph ranges)?
The glyph ranges should be sufficient. The font name is, of course, completely different. But you cannot expect that fonts named MS Mincho, MS Gothic or MS UI Gothic would be installed on all wine setups. These fonts are only available with Windows and cannot be normally obtained separately, unlike the MS Core Fonts.
However, most Japanese font packages provide two font variants that contain Mincho and Gothic at the end of their font name.
