[Bug 39298] New: kernel32 does not support custom nls installation.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39298

Bug ID: 39298
           Summary: kernel32 does not support custom nls installation.
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.7.51
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: kernel32
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

This is a somewhat related bug to 39297 - wine seems to use built-in code page
tables ( wine/libs/wine/c_*.c ) . On newer windows, code page 708 is shipped
with the OS; FontVal also bundle

CPinstall
CPinstall/i386
CPinstall/i386/c_852.nls
CPinstall/i386/c_1361.nls
CPinstall/i386/c_708.nls
CPinstall/i386/c_862.nls
CPinstall/i386/c_775.nls
CPinstall/i386/c_857.nls
CPinstall/i386/c_737.nls
CPinstall/i386/c_864.nls
CPinstall/i386/c_869.nls
CPinstall/CPinstall.inf
CPinstall.dll

for older windows which does not have them. However, I tried installing them
(via setupdll), it seems to popular the registry, and copy the nls files, but
does not seem to have any effect on wine's behavior at all.

FWIW, there seems to be only one nls file shipped with wine, l_intl.nls, that
if I remember correctly is required by dotnet; I don't seem to be able to find
any code which read nls files in wine at all.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #39297 +++

Microsoft's FontValidator
(https://www.microsoft.com/typography/FontValidator.mspx)
when processing certain fonts, try to access code page 708,
which is not available under wine.

FYI, mono has support for code page 708 - c.f. mcs/class/I18N/Rare/CP708.cs .

With recent wine only c_708.nls was missing. It's generated and installed now
in wine 5.19. Also since the switch to binary compatible nls files you probably
can install additional codepages data files. But again for list give in bug
description, everything is provided by default now. Any objections to closing
this?

Hin-Tak, could you please give an update on this? We have now codepage files in
binary compatible format, as standalone files. So I'm leaning towards closing
this.

I checked wine git head:

$ git describe origin/master 
wine-7.10-27-gdd4a92bc259

The list of genuine microsoft nls files I had at one point in time (I copied it
in the past from my windows partition, I think), which has no wine equivalents,
are:

c_1047.nls
c_1140.nls
c_1141.nls
c_1142.nls
c_1143.nls
c_1144.nls
c_1145.nls
c_1146.nls
c_1147.nls
c_1148.nls
c_1149.nls
c_20000.nls
c_20001.nls
c_20002.nls
c_20003.nls
c_20004.nls
c_20005.nls
c_20105.nls
c_20106.nls
c_20107.nls
c_20108.nls
c_20261.nls
c_20269.nls
c_20273.nls
c_20277.nls
c_20278.nls
c_20280.nls
c_20284.nls
c_20285.nls
c_20290.nls
c_20297.nls
c_20420.nls
c_20423.nls
c_20424.nls
c_20833.nls
c_20838.nls
c_20871.nls
c_20880.nls
c_20905.nls
c_20924.nls
c_20936.nls
c_21025.nls
c_21027.nls
c_858.nls
c_870.nls

another one, c_28603 is only in wine source but not in my from-windows copies.

But I supppose, assuming "install additional codepages data files" now works,
there is no need to keep this open.

I just mounted my windows partition, and did "ls /mnt/Windows/*/*.NLS | cut -f
5 -d / | sort | uniq" (system32 and SysWOW64 have somewhat different *.nls, no
idea why - a total of 170 , a uniq 112), the ones that wine does not yet
provide are:

< c_1047.nls
< c_1140.nls
< c_1141.nls
< c_1142.nls
< c_1143.nls
< c_1144.nls
< c_1145.nls
< c_1146.nls
< c_1147.nls
< c_1148.nls
< c_1149.nls

< c_20000.nls
< c_20001.nls
< c_20002.nls
< c_20003.nls
< c_20004.nls
< c_20005.nls
< c_20105.nls
< c_20106.nls
< c_20107.nls
< c_20108.nls

< c_20261.nls
< c_20269.nls
< c_20273.nls
< c_20277.nls
< c_20278.nls
< c_20280.nls
< c_20284.nls
< c_20285.nls
< c_20290.nls
< c_20297.nls
< c_20420.nls
< c_20423.nls
< c_20424.nls
< c_20833.nls
< c_20838.nls

< c_20871.nls
< c_20880.nls
< c_20905.nls
< c_20924.nls

< c_20936.nls

< c_21025.nls
< c_21027.nls

< c_858.nls

< c_870.nls

This looks somewhat similar to my first list.

I am fine with closing if custom nls installation works.

Thanks. If you find some application that needs something from that list,
please open a new report.
