Fox Weiqi Not Showing Chinese (or CJK) Characters

[psygo]

I'm able to run the Fox Weiqi client (the foreign version) perfectly with Wine: https://www.foxwq.com/soft/foreign.html

And I do have CJK fonts installed on my Arch desktop, they do show up on other programs properly.

Is Wine not able to access these characters by default?

It's also happening on my Mac (Sonoma).

I've been trying more things here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/q/784811/364698

I'm hosting a bounty over this on that Stack Exchange.

Does the program work if you run it like this:

Create a clean Wineprefix

Code: Select all

WINEPREFIX=~/foxweiqi wineboot

Install the necessary fonts

Code: Select all

WINEPREFIX=~/foxweiqi winetricks -q tahoma fakechinese

Install the program

Code: Select all

WINEPREFIX=~/foxweiqi wine install.exe

Run the program with a Chinese locale

Code: Select all

cd "${HOME}/foxweiqi/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/foxwq/foxwq"
LC_ALL=zh_CN.utf8 WINEPREFIX=~/foxweiqi wine foxwq.exe

[psygo]

That's super dope! It works!

I actually didn't want to run the program with a Chinese locale, only for the fonts to appear properly, so I took out `LC_ALL=zh_CN.utf8`. It's strange that Chinese characters do show up properly but there's still probably some missing fonts (https://imgur.com/a/ga4ZYOr), maybe I'll need to reinstall Korean an Japanese fonts as well, since they might be used there too.

Do you know how I could add Fox Weiqi back to Rofi then? I was using this to add it: https://unix.stackexchange.com/q/784800/364698 . But now, since your solution is more than one command, I don't know how to fix the syntax.

If you're interested, this is pretty much the answer to my bounty on the Unix Stack Exchange, and it's gonna expire really soon, so maybe just plop something there, and you can edit it later, if need be, if you're interested in the points that is.

Ok, I just created a script for those 2 lines, and then used in the `.desktop` file, this way it runs things through Rofi.

I tried the same procedure on my Mac OS Sonoma M2, and it didn't work unfortunately:
