The problem with font linking is that it is hard to generalize. unless
wine installs the font we cannot guarantee that the font is present on
the users system and that is worrisome to me.
I have seen this issue a lot in my working with asian games ported to
english locales in a variety of fonts. It would be nice to have a more
general fix.

Ok maybe you could help me brainstorm a better fix.
The issue I am seeing is that this application is a chinese
application and it is asking for Tahoma for GB2312_CHARSET. The
Tahoma in the system does not have GB2312_CHARSET. So we end up
falling all the way back to the last resort selection.
It ends up looking for a font that supports FS_CHINESESIMP and the
first one on my (an most any mac) is Al Bayan, an arabic font with no
latin characters. As a result everything it tries to print in latin
characters are boxes.
I thought of putting in an exception for Tahoma but that seemed too
hackish.
Do you have a font link with an appropriate font file?
