Chinese in console cannot be display

[wangyneos]

Hi
I have a Windows program that can display Chinese. The program has no GUI (text/console based). I tried to run it in Wine (running on Arch Linux) But all the Chinese characters printed are displayed as garbage that looks like "???".
I copied the all the .ttf fonts from my Windows machine and pasted them into ~/.wine/windows/Fonts but this didn't help either.
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks!
wine --version
wine-5.3

It seems programs in Chinese uses SimSun font family as the default font family and installing this font can help solve garbage characters issue in QQ Music on Wine. Have you ever tried that?
If this does not work, use `winetricks allfonts` command to install all the fonts in Windows. Before that you have to install the `winetricks` program, a GUI program that assists in managing Wine Windows libraries and applications. Hopefully this helps.

Have you installed a Chinese locale?

Code: Select all

locale -a

Do you get Chinese characters if you start the command prompt with:

Code: Select all

LANG=zh_CN.utf8 wine cmd
