Ok, so the DEFAULT_CHARSET behavious is correct. But still if I ask only for
the ANSI_CHARSET on Windows on the standard fonts Arial, Tahoma, etc I will get
all strings correctly displayed in the TextBox. While on Wine this never
happens (whatever charset I am selecting). Let's suppose that also this
difference is correct.
I tried right now various 32-bit distros, in most cases even selecting the
correct CHINESE CHARSET the Chinese characters are not displayed when using the
standard fonts. Same for Japanese and Korean. 
There is no registry key "HKLU\\Software\\Wine\\Fonts\\Replacements" but a
"HKLU\\Software\\Wine\\Fonts\\FontSubstitutes" with few entries only.

I tried the following 32-bit distros with a default installation of wine:
* Ubuntu 9.04 (Wine 1.1.22)
* SUSE 11.0 (Wine 1.1.22-2.1)
* Fedora 9 (Wine 1.1.14)
* Linux Mint (Wine 1.1.22)
* Mandriva Linux 2009 (Wine 1.1.22)
* PCLinuxOS 2007 (older version of Wine)

Do I have to install something extra? I am missing something?
