------- Additional Comments From dank@kegel.com 2007-25-05 09:20 ------- This is still an unsolved issue. For the record, Tahoma is not quite part of MS's core fonts package, even if http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/getwr/steps/wrg_font.mspx says it is. The most freely licensed way to get it that I know of is from the word 97 viewer. The easiest way to grab that is via winetricks, e.g. wget http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks sh winetricks tahoma
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/getwr/steps/wrg_font.mspx also mentions that Tahoma doesn't include East Asian glyphs, but links to fonts that do, and describes the registry entry that controls font linking, HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontLink\SystemLink
A few other pages of interest: http://blogs.msdn.com/michkap/archive/2005/06/18/430507.aspx http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/DrIntl/faqs/Locales.mspx http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms903933.aspx http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms901081.aspx
That last page seems to indicate that Windows uses different settings for SystemLink for Korean, Japanese, Chinese etc. windows. I don't know how or when, maybe at install, maybe at boot. I wonder if Wine also needs to do this.
