display big5 characters in .pdb files in isilo

[guavajuice]

I'm running wine 1.0 on osx tiger ported by macport.

the windows app i'm using is isilo (http://www.isilo.com/) It reads .pdb files and I'm having trouble with displaying the traditional chinese big5 character. it just shows up as squares.

guavajuice asked:

How do I display traditional chinese in wine?

Can you be more explicit about what the problem is,
for those of us who don't speak chinese?

If you can give us a URL that reproduces the problem using
Wine's built-in web browser, that would be best, as it would be
very easy for us to reproduce and compare with native Firefox.

I tried testing by doing
$ wine iexplore http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/cjk_uni ... raphs.html
and it looked ok to me, but then I don't know Chinese.

I'm running wine 1.0 on osx tiger ported by macport

i'm using a windows app called isilo (http://www.isilo.com/) to read .pdb files.
the chinese characters didn't get encoded properly and turned into a bunch of squares.

i tried to use LC=ALL zh_TW wine isilo.exe but it's still displayed as squares. I figured I'll need to change some locale settings in wine but i'm sure where to look.

thanks for all the help, dimesio and DanKegel!

i found another way to view the traditional chinese on the app.

1. install darwine
2. copy pmingliu.ttf to your darwine fonts folder, which is under .wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts

Success! =)
