[Bug 36488] New: [regedit] problems with Unicode characters in .reg files and in GUI

Bug ID: 36488
           Summary: [regedit] problems with Unicode characters in .reg
                    files and in GUI
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.7.19
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: programs
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]

There are two problems with "regedit":
1. It improperly parses Unicode characters. E.g., try to import this .reg file:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Fonts\Replacements]
"ＭＳ ゴシック"="TakaoGothic"
"ＭＳ 明朝"="TakaoMincho"

In registry, there will be multiple unreadable characters instead of kanji,
which suggests that regedit expects ASCII while parsing.

2. If I manage to create these entries (it can be accomplished with creating
entry in GUI), their names are showed as "square characters" in GUI.

You need to add UTF-16 BOM to this file, in this case it will be recognized as
Unicode. Regarding squares in UI - you need to install some font that provides
these characters.

Oh,  I haven't known about UTF-16 needed, sorry for this. I have appropriate
fonts installed (and can see Japanese characters in other applications), 
though -- maybe I'm missing something again?

Guess I found an answer myself -- the default System font doesn't support 
Japanese characters. Sorry for this,  I'll do my research next time.
