Great, I think everything I want is in wine now. It preserves users SystemLinks
but then auto-generates a reasonable additional set that is appended to the end
on run. So installing fonts and setting up Replacements should work as expected
and hoped.

My last patch fixes the
"文泉驿微米黑" vs "WenQuanYi Micro Hei" bug. Both should now work as replacements in
Chinese and the english will work everywhere and is recommended. 

Please test with the current tip of wine and see if it works well for you. 

I would be interested in the usp10 bugs as they may be revealing other issues I
need to investigate so please report them but just specify if having a correct
system link fixes it or not.
