Of course it does - it is a microsoft tool!

e.g. on Windows 8.1 (which comes with this code page) - if you use the tool to
analyse window 8.1's tahoma.ttf, in the generated report it would say something
like:

A CodePage bit is set in ulCodePageRange, but the font is missing some of the
printable characters from that codepage, bit #61, Arabic; ASMO 708 (49 missing,
first ten missing chars are: U2502 U2524 U2561 U2562 U2556 U2555 U2563 U2551
U2557 U255D)

but running under wine + dotnet 2, it would say something about code page not
installed.

Note that:

1. for some unknown reason, it does not want to navigate to c:\windows\fonts on
windows 8.1 - but you can copy tahoma.ttf onto desktop to test.

2. some part of it does not work with wine + wine-mono, though this part does.
You should de-select all of the table tests except OS/2, and also choose to
"save report file" to a location of your choice, rather than the default "open
after analyis" (from temp location), if you are testing under wine + wine-mono
or wine + dotnet .

What is the purpose of this test? I already told you what the problem is, and
where the bulk of new code need to be added - there needs to be a new
"wine/libs/wine/c_708.c" file, and an extra line "wine/libs/wine/cptable.c" to
register the new code page table, just like any of the others!
