Chinese fonts are not visible in programs installed in Wine
I have installed Wine on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. When I run any program containing Chinese fonts, it shows some box type structure.
Tried: update, installing Chinese fonts in Ubuntu, adding Chinese language under system settings. None of them worked.
First, u must download wqy-microhei.ttc font online (https://github.com/anthonyfok/fonts-wqy-microhei/blob/master/wqy-microhei.ttc)
After saving this Regedit file on pc (https://gist.github.com/swordfeng/c3fd6b6fcf6dc7d7fa8a)
Font file copy to wine folder under C: drive folder, under Windows folder, under Font (/home/YOURUSERNAME/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts)
If you cant see the .wine folder, enter any folder and push keyboard Ctrl+H (show/hide the hidden folder)
And the last one you have downloaded regedit file. Steps:
- Download winetricks (sudo apt-get install winetricks)
- Open wine tricks app
- First screen select 'Select the default wineprefix' and click OK (go to next)
- Select the option to 'Run regedit'. You will see the windows registry editor screen.
- Click on bar 'Registry > Import Registry File'
- Select downloaded registry file and import.
- Finish!
I hope it helps you. I also use some software that has Chinese font. Wine doesn't support some distro maybe.
