For me, LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.utf8 switches Wine to operate with Japanese
codepage for font rendering and selection.

See dlls/kernel32/locale.c for general POSIX locale to codepage mapping,
and gdi32/freetype.c for nls_update_font_list which maps code pages
to fonts for the Windows UI fonts which vary between countries.

Of course Pacman didn't influence us as kids. If it did,
we'd be running around in darkened rooms, popping pills and
listening to repetitive music.
