We are indeed working on full Chinese/Asian support, however
it isn't there yet. Currently, we support Western European
fonts, and we're working on Eastern European support.
However, we have found that a product called 'Asian Suite'
under English Windows does work well in Win4Lin to display
asian fonts. You can find information on it at:
http://www.unionway.com/servlet/Node?Node=8
As for the load windows cd log, there is indeed a file in
/var/win4lin/log called 'loadwindowsCD.log'. Information on
what got loaded from the CD should be in there.
