arabic applications unicode

[Massamix]

hello

when I run an Arabic windows application on Wine from Linux, I can't see Arabic characters and fonts of the application correctly
On windows OS, I fix this problem by activation Locales for non-unicode programs from language setting in control panel. Unfortunately, this option does not exist on Wine.
Can you help me.

You could try setting LC_ALL or installing corefonts with winetricks.

Thank you for your feedback. Could you please explain me with more clarifications how to do this modification. Right now, every word of yours need a search on the net.

You can set the language like this:

Code: Select all

LC_ALL=ar_US.UTF-8 wine ...

Don't know what's the correct locale for arabic is though. This environment variable controls which locale is used to display stuff.

You can install more fonts with

Code: Select all

winetricks corefonts
winetricks allfonts

Sometimes you are missing a font, then it helps to install the core fonts (line 1) or all fonts (line 2).
