Wine *does not* emulate an existence of a certain font. If a font is missing
it should be added, that was the case for Tahoma, that's the case for Times
New Roman (bug 9623).

jvgasys.fon does not contain japanese glyphs, a Windows one doesn't either.

Please stop re-opening this bug, it is invalid.
