I came to need to run few legacy win32 apps in wine (2d programs of specific nature). I had built wine myself which links with musl fine. These programs are Russian only. They do not have English fallback or any other translated versions. Their texts are of cp1251 encoding. I unable to read them because they are garbled probably because they are converted to utf-8 implicitly. However if I set LC_ALL=ru_RU.UTF-8, wine own translation is shown as expected - I see clear Russian translation. Only those legacy programs are in trouble. Is there a way to tell Wine or to emulate it cp1251 encoding? Maybe I could modify Wine somehow to convert texts to proper UTF-8? I did not found Wine uses iconv or something like that inside it's source. I only need Wine for these few programs. I now running a chroot with debian glibc and wine as a temporary solution. -- http://lynxlynx.tk/ Power electronics made simple Unix and simple KISS C code
