How to establish Japanese text in WINE

Smallfullmoon · Post by **Smallfullmoon** » Thu Feb 05, 2009 1:59 am

I am using a Japanese windows-based game through WINE. The only problem I have is that all of the Japanese characters are square blocks.

I wonder if there's a way to fix this.

Thank you.

You need to set your locale to Japanese.

How to set my locale?

In the terminal, set the environment variable
LANG to the desired language code; that
will affect any wine jobs started in that window.

Or see e.g.
http://blog.radevic.com/2008/12/how-to- ... buntu.html
for how to set it systemwide.

You might also be having a font problem, but get LANG sorted first.

Or preferable, WINE should have a direct multi-lingual support at least. But that's just my delusional opinion.

Tell that to MS.
