For me, the EULA is displayed as all boxes.
"winetricks corefonts" doesn't help.
"winetricks riched20" changes it to display nothing instead of boxes...
so perhaps this isn't a richedit problem, even though the symptom is in
richedit.

With no overrides, +richedit shows lots of output like

trace:richedit:RichEditWndProc_common EM_SETTEXTEX -

That looks an awful lot like a block of ASCII in RAM being misinterpreted
as wide chars in RAM.  Hmm:

5c 7b 74 72 31 66 61 5c 73 6e 5c 69 6e 61 69 73 70 63 31 67 35 32 5c 32 65 64
66 66 5c 30 65 64
\  {  J  H  1  f  a  \  s  n  \  i  n  a  i  s  p  c  1  g  5  2  \  2  e  d  f
 f  \  0  e  d ..

Well, it's ascii, but it looks like line noise to me...
