Environment: Win2K Pro (or XP) Traditional Chinese edition. 
Traditional Chinese is selected as the default in Control 
Panel.

To see the problem:
1. Open Writer (or Calc).
2. Select an English font (eg, Arial).
3. Enter any Chinese character.
4. The char appears as a square on most computers but appears as
a Chinese on some (fewer) other computers.

On a computer that it appears as a square, the fallback font
should be a Chinese font because I can see the char appearing
fine say in Notepad. It means the OOo is preventing the font 
fallback mechanism in Win2K. Is this intentional? From issue
45128 I believe that the intented behavior is to fallback,
but it is not happening on many of our computers.

In fact, I've tried linking Arial to a Chinese font (MingLiu)
but it has no effect in OOo. It works only if I link an
non-existing font such as Terminal.

But on some smaller number of computers, no matter what font
I select, it can still be displayed as Chinese. It means somehow
font fallback is working on those computers. I've checked the 
font linking on both computers and they are the same.

I've tried these tests on both OOo 1.1.2, 1.1.3 and 1.9.69. The
version doesn't matter at all.
