CJK default fonts for packagers to set

[Scott Ritchie]

My notes from Wineconf remind me that I need to create some manual links 
in the registry to whatever default CJK fonts are on the system.  Can 
someone tell me what these are supposed to look like?

Thanks,
Scott Ritchie

Sure! (sorry for the delay)

The important keys are the following:
HKLM,"Software\Microsoft\Windows 
NT\CurrentVersion\FontLink\SystemLink","Tahoma"

HKLM,"Software\Microsoft\Windows 
NT\CurrentVersion\FontLink\SystemLink","Microsoft Sans Serif"

and
HKLM,"Software\Microsoft\Windows 
NT\CurrentVersion\FontLink\SystemLink","Lucida Sans Unicode"

They are REG_SZ_MULTI type of either
"<font file ttc>:<font name>"  or "<Font file ttf>"

so for example windows sets (in inf format for Japanese Windows):

HKLM,"Software\Microsoft\Windows 
NT\CurrentVersion\FontLink\SystemLink","Tahoma",0x00010002,"MSGOTHIC.TTC,MS 
UI Gothic","gulim.ttc,gulim","SimSun.TTC,SimSun","mingliu.ttc,PMingLiU"

The glyphs will be found in order.  So if a glyph is missing from 
Tahoma, then it tries MSGOTHIC.TTC next, if still missing gulim.ttc and 
so on.  I do not have chinese windows to investigate but it may be that 
the order of the fonts is different. This may not be an issue on linux.

Any other questions just ask.
thanks!

You meant ',' instead of ':' here, right, judging from your example below? (and my impression)
