Tsarouchas, what was the detailed solution in your case?

I have a similar problem:

1) I try to run the installer for the app "PITy2007ng" (pity2007ngsetup.exe)
from over here: http://pit.dobry.pl/index.php?plik=pliki
2) In the welcome window, I can see that the polish characters are messed up. I
close the application and try to locate setting that control the code page for
non-unicode apps.
3) I run ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/regedit.exe and locate the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Fonts\Codepages. It has the value "1252,437".
4) I change the key to the value "1250,852" - those are polish codepages.
5) I navigate to a different registry branch, then back to Codepages to make
sure that my change is preserved - I can see it is (the "1250,852" value).
5) Keeping the regedit window open, I launch the installer again:
wine ~/soft/pity2007ngsetup.exe
6) The fonts are still messed up. When I go back to the still open regedit
window, I can see that the Codepages value has reverted to the default:
"1252,437"

Is there a way to force Wine to use a particular codepage at all?

encodings? locale isn't meant for this...):
