Created attachment 78432 --> http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=78432 MusicBee font redirection bug screenshots
Font redirection for CJK scripts seems to be working reliably since 10.x, which is great. But I don't think the font redirection bug is 100% dealt with yet.
I've come across two artists that seem to test the limits of WINE's Unicode/font handling: ???????????? ???????????????????????? ("SKY SPORTS" written in bold mathematical lettering, different from regular Latin letters) and ⣎⡇ꉺლ༽இ•̛)ྀ◞ ༎ຶ ༽ৣৢ؞ৢ؞ؖ ꉺლ - ...yeah, don't ask. This is an alias for Four Tet, so I'll refer to this as "Four Tet's alias" from here on out.
These artists' gimmick seem to be messing about Unicode symbols - for SKY SPORTS' case it's using bold mathematical lettering to give the illusion of bold text, for the case of Four Tet's alias, it's using whatever symbols they can find to make Unicode gibberish. I'll link their entries on MusicBrainz if you want to have a further look:
SKY SPORTS: https://musicbrainz.org/artist/1cc8899d-3d78-49ac-b3dd-64ec7a15259d Four Tet alias: https://musicbrainz.org/artist/2d9745dd-5dc6-4145-9453-fec582cfa9b8
No matter what font, these artists' names and releases do not show up on MusicBee, they show up as boxes. This is not reproducible on Windows. In the past, changing to Tahoma would show CJK letters somewhere or other except when it's bold. In this case, Tahoma does nothing to fix this. Unifont is installed (through winetricks allfonts) and that does display the symbols in Four Tet's alias, so this is likely a bug with font redirection again.

--- Comment #1 from Victini v_winebugs@outlook.com --- ...Oh. Seems like WINE Bugzilla has trouble with it too huh. Yeah, I'd check the MusicBrainz page for that to see what I'm talking about.
