Bug ID: 45670
           Summary: WeChat requires explicitly setting locale for Chinese
                    to be displayed.
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

So I'm trying to run WeChat on Wine.

If all required configuration steps are performed (such as installing the
native riched), I can run it almost flawlessly with the following command-line:

LC_ALL=zh_CN.utf8 wine WeChat.exe

If the locale is not set, then WeChat displays Chinese characters as tofu.

On Windows, however, there is not need to run WeChat through AppLocale, or,
basically, set the locale in any way, WeChat still runs fine, displaying all
Chinese needed.

There should be some way to avoid explicitly setting locale when running
WeChat.

--- Comment #1 from Jactry Zeng  ---
I think this is a duplication of bug 13829.
By copying SimSun font to C:\windows\fonts, Chinese characters in WeChat's GUI
can be displayed correctly without a Chinese locale set.
