--- Comment #8 from Dmitry Timoshkov <dmitry at baikal.ru> ---
While XP substitutes "MS Sans Serif"/SHIFTJIS_CHARSET by DEFAULT_CHARSET,
according to https://testbot.winehq.org/JobDetails.pl?Key=83751 newer Windows
flavours choose "MS PGothic" TrueType font instead.

Accordong to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/font-list/ms-pgothic
"MS PGothic" includes glyphs for various charsets, and its appearance is close
to "MS Sans Serif" bitmap font.

A proper solution to this bug is creating "MS PGothic" font replacement for
Wine, however either using 'winetricks cjkfonts' or downloading "MS PGothic"
from https://bigfontsite.com/download/ms-pgothic.html may work as well.
