How to make UNICODE characters to display correctly?

[Yuri]

I run WBridge5 (French version) under wine-1.1.1 on FreeBSD-7.0.
It runs ok except for every UNICODE character is replaced by the little box.
Also in some message boxes symbols that obviously should be some French
characters that aren't part of normal Latin alphabet are replaced with
Chinese characters.

Make sure that LANG env var is correctly set to your language and codepage.

You need the symbol.ttf installed. Copy this file from MS Windows, or try to find it out on the net. Put it in the drive_c/windows/font directory.

I found symbol.ttf (SymbolMT) out on the net, but it would not work until I opened the font file with a font editing program, fontforge, and regenerated the symbol.ttf font as a TrueType(symbol) font. Then all was pleasant.
