Japanese font in utorrent cannot be displayed correctly

Hi wine developer,
i have a problem in displaying language other than english in utorrent.
The menu bar of utorrent is okay (the bar containing File, Option and Help),
while the text inside the main screen of utorrent is totally unreadable.(See
the attachment)
The problem exists in wine 0.9.5x (acturally i tired many version) + utorrent
1.61/1.7.x.
Finally, i fixed the problem by adding this registory
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes\Tahoma  =>  IPA Pゴシック.
Would wine devleopers add this registory in the next release of wine ?
Is there any bad impact after adding this registory ?
Of coz ipag.ttf is not a good font for global users, but i think there is
another good alternative.

To reproduce the bug,
rm -fr ~/.wine
wine utorrent.exe

What's your locale? If not sure attach output of the 'locale' command.

Sorry, ignore that. Our Tahoma replacement lacks chinese/japanese glyphs,
that must be the source of the problem. If you drop tahoma from your Windows
partition to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts, does it help?

It doesn't help, those ":" just changed to "<"
there must be a FontSubstitutes for Tahoma in registry in order to make the
display right.

I think this method will work. But we can't control matched font.

Sorry, ignore it. This is my miss understanding about Dmitry's comments.

It seems this bug is related to bug #10025 (Cyrillic glyphs are missing in
built-in Tahoma)

System is Ubuntu Hardy
wine 1.0 came from Ubuntu official repository

wine 1.1 came from 
http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/hardy.list

i have to revert back.

This is duplicate of bug 13829

According to the font people they will add links only to fonts which are
distributed with Wine, and Wine has no Japanese fonts.

You can install a Japanese fonts and add the links as shown in comment #4

The solution in comment 4 will not work due to bug 18044.

I'm the developer of AndreaMosaic and have the same issues showing chinese
characters. For a developer there exists two ways to show foreign characters:
1) change current locale / code page to chinese and send the correct data
encoding to the windows/dialog boxes. This is compatible since Win98 (at
least).
OR
2) send directly unicode characters to the windows/dialog boxes. This is
compatible only since Win2000.

Personally I prefer the method 2 because it works on any Windows installation
regardless of the codepage and user settings. Also it's the only way to show
multiple character types in the same application (for example russian, chinese
and arabic characters at the same time). So AndreaMosaic is sending always
unicode characters to the windows/dialog boxes and expect unicode characters as
the input.

The source of the problem seems that the standard Fonts included with Wine
(Arial, Courier, Tahoma) doesn't contain the full unicode characters set
(chinese). If I install a unicode font (for example the free
http://unifoundry.com/unifont.html) and if I change all the fonts in the
application to unifont then the Chinese characters are correctly displayed.

A part of the workaround, I think that any Windows program should be able to
show well Unicode characters (and not only through the settings of the current
locale). Or is the problem on the base, i.e Wine doesn't support Unicode at
all?
