Thanks for your advice. After tweaking the font settings ~/.wine/config, we were able to get notepad to display Chinese text. However, it seems to only work with bitmap fonts like -taipei-*-; it had some problems with the Arphic TrueType fonts that it seems Wine was using a different character set to display the characters.

Where should we start? Which files need to be modified? (I am new to Wine, so any starters/pointers would be helpful.) :-) Many thanks for your help!
