For me, the EULA is displayed as all boxes.
"winetricks corefonts" doesn't help.
"winetricks riched20" changes it to display nothing instead of boxes...
so perhaps this isn't a richedit problem, even though the symptom is in
richedit.

With no overrides, +richedit shows lots of output like

trace:richedit:RichEditWndProc_common EM_SETTEXTEX -
L"\5c7b\7472\3166\615c\736e\5c69\6e61\6973\7063\3167\3532\5c32\6564\6666\5c30\6564\6c66\6e61\3167\3330\7b33\665c\6e6f\7474\6c62\5c7b\3066\665c\6f72\616d\5c6e\6366\6168\7372\7465\2030\6954\656d\2073\654e\2077\6f52\616d\3b6e\7b7d\665c\5c31\7366\6977\7373\665c\6863\7261\6573\3074\4120\6972\6c61\7d3b\0d7d\7b0a"...,

That looks an awful lot like a block of ASCII in RAM being misinterpreted
as wide chars in RAM.  Hmm:

5c 7b 74 72 31 66 61 5c 73 6e 5c 69 6e 61 69 73 70 63 31 67 35 32 5c 32 65 64
66 66 5c 30 65 64
\  {  J  H  1  f  a  \  s  n  \  i  n  a  i  s  p  c  1  g  5  2  \  2  e  d  f
 f  \  0  e  d ..


Well, it's ascii, but it looks like line noise to me...
