Might be best explained with an example:
So this is the folder selection dialog (this album list is from a Korean singer). The first album should be displayed as "사랑하는 사람들을 위한 지침서".
This next screenshot is the track listing after selecting an album/folder from a Japanese band. (The Japanese track should be displayed as "05. 心の地図.flac")
Some info/things I've tried:
- I tried using LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 or ja_JP.SHIFT_JIS and more than half of the characters are still showing up as squares. Since I also have Chinese/Korean albums, I think this is not the ideal solution since I do not want to switch locales/languages.
- I ran "winetricks allfonts" which seems to install all Windows fonts. No change to earlier results.
- I ran winecfg => Desktop Integration => Appearance and I changed the fonts (if option is available) of all items to "Noto Sans CJK JP".
- I checked mp3tag and it does not have font settings like other apps (example: foobar2000).
- As a another test, I installed foobar2000 and it automatically selected "Noto Sans CJK JP" as the default font. (the track/album listing shows the correct characters. It's only the folder selection dialog that is wrong. I'm guessing that feature uses built-in "Windows" dialog.
- I am running the latest version of both foobar2000 and mp3tag.
Any ideas on how to fix? Thanks
