Re: I just found out that when the input content is already GB2312, “wine” automatically mistakes it for unicode

[hawaii.wine wong]

In simple words, i use a app that's text written in gb2312, wine can
not show that correctly.
i use ubuntu and it has support for gb2312 , because i can use gedit
to read text encoding in  gb2312 .
