Hello Aric,

Sorry for my delay, I'm travelling these days. Thanks for all your great
effects.

- Chinese users used to set that registry setting, that's because of the
historical reason of this font link issue.
  - However, most Chinese Ubuntu users doesn't modified the font link registry
manually, since there was a patched version of Wine in the wine-cn ppa
repository, which already worked out of box.
  - For other distributions, I'm not very sure, please let me know if you need
any further information and I'll collect them for you.

Sorry again for my late reply, I've seen new patch committed these days, so is
this still and issue in the latest wine?
I'm not sure If I understand you very well, I'd like to let you know, if you
are worrying about bug reports, then may be I can help. In other words, if
Chinese wine users modify the font link registry manually but file a bug report
without mentioning what she/he did with registry, then it may became a annoying
problem for debugging wine, but, in this case, I'll take care on the bugzilla
and retest those font rendering related issues by myself, hopes that help :)

Personally I like the way applied in the latest wine, if you need further
information I can ask on some Chinese Linux User Groups since I can't announce
on behavior of others rather then myself :)
No matter what way wine will select, I'll keep participating test and report
back.

However, I wonder will auto generated font link always work out of box? It
seems there is one anti-aliasing issue in the latest wine, will report as
separate bug.

Thanks and regards!
