The problem is that RichView class (that the application is using internally)
decides to use font "times new roman"  with charset 128 (SHIFTJIS_CHARSET) for
unicode text, and Wine chooses some random, i.e. "appropriate" font from an
underlying system which contains glyphs from that charset, but unfortunately
most (if not all) such fonts don't have a bold/italic faces.

If I hack dlls/gdi32/freetype.c,freetype_SelectFont() to ignore 128 charset,
then I can change text to bold, italic and so on, because now real Times New
Roman font is used, which supports them.

You may try to file a bug report to the creator(s) of RichView.
