Good. The other day I submitted a patch to undertake the latter automatically,
so with only the former needing to be done by packagers (the trivial part) it
all works nicely out of the box.

And if you drop in the real MS UI Gothic, Simsum etc, they just magically work
as well.

No feedback on the patch yet, and I don't consider it to close this bug since
it doesn't change the fact that Wine doesn't _include_ MS-metric-compatible CJK
fonts, although unlike Tahoma, there are free metric-compatible fonts floating
around (or at least there are for Japanese) so this bug drops a lot in
priority.

That should be fixed by the above patch. If they depend on the MS fonts, then
with the above patch the correct FontLinks (modulo errors in my choice of
default FontLink lists) will be autocreated.
