Normally en_US.UTF-8 but his renders garbage instead of the Japanese
characters.
So I run LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 wine testwin.exe which renders expected number of
characters but the Japanese ones aren't displayed - only spaces or black
squares are rendered instead.

The glyph ranges should be sufficient. The font name is, of course, completely
different. But you cannot expect that fonts named MS Mincho, MS Gothic or MS UI
Gothic would be installed on all wine setups. These fonts are only available
with Windows and cannot be normally obtained separately, unlike the MS Core
Fonts.

However, most Japanese font packages provide two font variants that contain
Mincho and Gothic at the end of their font name.
