FWIW, I reproduced the same problem in Mandriva 2010.1.

Yes :/

The package I built locally (in a chroot) works, I am trying to see what buildrequires that might be missing...

Please try wine-1.3.15-3.mga1 .

Sorry, wine-1.3.15-3.mga1 has the problem, too.

Please test -4.mga1 :)

Now the problem is solved! Wine can show Chinese characters correctly. :)

Great :)

(thanks for your persistence :)). Closing.

There are some new problems about the Chinese version of Wine.

I don't know which font the Chinese interface chooses. In my computer's system, WenQuanYi Micro Hei is the default font as the default setting of the Chinese locale of Mageia, but the font of the Chinese interface of Wine is not WenQuanYi Micro Hei.

The Chinese interface of Wine can't show the letter "v" (Screenshot-1.png). In the notepad of Wine, all Chinese characters can't be shown (Screenshot-2.png).

I think that WenQuanYi Micro Hei is more suitable for the Chinese interface of Wine, because it suports wide character sets and is the default font for the Chinese locale of Mageia.

Sorry for taking so long to reply.

Do you still have the problem in current Cauldron?

The winecfg interface of Wine in current Cauldron can use a font of Linux system to show Chinese characters, but can't show the letter "v". The notepad of Wine can show Chinese characters when manually specifying a Chinese font.

@ Jiang

Thanks for replying :)

I understand the only problem left is the missing "v", like in your attachment https://bugs.mageia.org/attachment.cgi?id=143, where one sees "dri er" instead of "driver".

Therefore changing the summary and setting the priority of this bug to "low" and the severity to "minor".

Please complain if I misunderstood!

Summary: Wine can't show Chinese characters. => Wine doesn't show letter "v" (Was: can't show Chinese characters)
Severity: normal => minor

If the default font of the system is wqy-microhei.ttc, the letter "v" can be displayed properly, but the Wine's notepad can't properly display Chinese characters.

winecfg dialog, using Micro Hei font as font- no problem with "v" or other letters

my involvement was more because I know how LibreOffice does find its fonts - in this case, my assumption is that as a bitmap font is used, the v disappears because of bad/lack of hinting information & the lines get scaled down too much until they are invisible.

Not much can be done apart from using a bigger fontsize or another font. 

I doubt that the mentioned "WenQuanYi Micro Hei" is used by wine in the attached screenshots. At least it look *way* different than when I configure "WenQuanYi Micro Hei" as MS-Shell-Dlg font.

First attached screenshot (The screen-shot of Wine's interface) it is obvious that it is not the Micro Hei font - the g is completely different.

In the second attached screenshot (The Wine's interface can't show the letter "v") it is less obvious, but compare the letter "B" - in the screenshot the upper part is smaller compared to the bottom part, while in the WenQuanYi Micro Hei font it is symmetric/both upper and lower part have ~the same size. And also look at the "T" - in Micro Hei the top horizontal part is just straight, while in the screenshot has serifs, "drops" on the left and right. Same for P and D, etc. While Micro Hei is a sans-serif font, the font used in the screenshot does have serifs.

With the third screenshot, it is again very easy to tell that it doesn't use the Micro Hei font. Look at the completely different "g".
But I cannot select the font in notepad, as it doesn't offer the font in the font-selection (apparently wine/notepad doesn't expose the true type collection font)

winecfg dialog using the Monospaced variant of the font - no display problems either

as I don't have chinese locale installed, I pasted the characters into the entry-box instead.

@ Christian
Thx for taking the time to look into this :)

@ Ake

There is a maintainer for wine now, so someone to assign this bug to if there is still a problem.

If so: Do you mind (again) describing what the issue is and which attachment applies? (So the maintainer won't get confused by reading all the comments above or by looking at the wrong attachment ... you might want to remove your first screen shot, because that part of the bug got solved before)


cc'ing the maintainer

The bug that Wine's interface couldn't show "v" has been fixed.

The notepad of Wine still can't show Chinese characters. Please view the third attachment.

Thanks for the feedback.

Adjusting the summary, setting priority and severity back to default and assigning to maintainer

Priority: Low => Normal

After installing the update of Wine 1.4 on Cauldron, the default font of Wine's interface goes back to the past bug. It can't show the letter "v" again.

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)
