As stated by Paul the MSDN documentation says that DEFAULT_CHARSET is
translated to ANSI_CHARSET. But practically speaking the behavious is
different. Use FontTest.exe or see the windows1.png file in my previous
attachment.
DEFAULT_CHARSET + Arial ==> all foreign strings are shown correctly.
SHIFTJIS_CHARSET + Arial ==> a different font is shown, Korean and Chinese no
longer works.
JOHAB_CHARSET + Arial ==> another font is shown.
Also, since I suppose that Arial does not contain the full set of glyphs (the
TTF file is too small) then why under Windows all glyphs are shown with
DEFAULT_CHARSET while under Wine this does not happen under all the distros I
tested (see previous messages). Is Wine following the MSDN documentation or the
real behaviour of Windows?

Then the Font Link is missing in Wine. I don't know the Wine/Windows internals,
I am just reporting the differences, and wrote a small program to show that.
Now the Wine developers can say "we know about the differences but we don't
care" or "someone will fix this or that".
