There's a problem with Type42 font downloads, a workaround for this to
edit generic.ppd and change the line
*TTRasterizer: Type42
to
*TTRasterizer: None

this will tell Wine to send download the font as a Type 1 outline
which should work.

Do you mean that the roman (English) font is ugly (since I have no
idea whether the Chinese characters look ok maybe you let me know how
they look)?  You only have two fonts installed (see the above fragment
from the log), so the english text has to come from one of these
fonts.  What you may want to do is to install some fonts like Arial,
Times New Roman etc.  You could either copy these from a Windows
installation (or add a line to the [FontDirs] section of config to
point at an existing Windows partition font directory), or you can
download a selection of the core Windows fonts from Microsoft's
website.
