No. I never get Japanese menus, and I have to manually choose a Japanese font
for the text to show the Japanese characters.

However, regedit does show the date in International settings correctly.

This is on an installation without Windows fonts.

I have specifically written this application to test the functionality. As far
as I can tell I have not hardcoded any font but you can examine the source to
be sure.

What is enough then?

If it is necessary to substitute the MS fonts to some fonts that exist I could
do that in registry and Wine could perhaps do that automagically if at least
some Mincho and Gothic fonts exist.

Still even if those fonts exist there is apparently something missing as the
application doesn't display correctly anyway.

I can hack the registry to hardcode all system fonts to Japanese fonts but that
breaks if I start an application that requires a different locale.
