Why is this needed? wine.inf.in doesn't contain non ASCII strings.

Currently wine.inf.in does not contain non ASCII strings, but if we
want to solve Bug 32136, as Comment 4, we need to add some non ASCII
strings to wine.inf.in, such as:
--- snip ---
HKCU,Software\Wine\Fonts\Replacements,"宋体",,"WenQuanYi Micro Hei"
--- snip ---

My idea is leaving these work for the distribution folks, however, I
think it is better to add a UTF8 BOM header in the Wine side, or the
distribution patch will be strange and ugly.

Thanks for any suggestions!

It should be possible to specify a not localized font name. In general,
wine.inf follows Windows format of .inf files, you should investigate
how unicode is supposed to work inside of .inf files.

Thanks for advice!
Unfortunately I'm worrying about my google skills... I search for
storing unicode string in .inf files / .reg files, most related
samples are covered in [1],
but none of them match my purpose.

What I need is something like:
HKCU,Software\Wine\Fonts\Replacements,"\x5b8b\x4f53","WenQuanYi Micro Hei"
But I can't found anyway like that which works. I also check the code
in dlls/setupapi, there seems no code related to decode similar
strings into unicode.

Could you point out if I miss something? Any sample or reference is
great appreciated!

PS: The artical[1] referers to two books: Inside the Registry for
Windows 95 by Günter Born and The Windows 98 Registry by John Woram,
but I can't get them right now.
