Uh, sorry for not following the issue template, seems there is no suitable template for this issue.

The game itself works absolutely perfectly, but there is a little problem with the launcher.

The launcher works perfectly too as long as I'm starting the game in English (or maybe other language with latin characters as well). But when I start the game in any asian language, texts on the launcher was displayed as squares.

I have already encountered this problem when I was using the wine the run some other applications. The way to solve this problem in wine is very simple. Copying the font file of the language witch the application is using into $WINEPREFIX/driver_c/Windows/Fonts/ always solves this problem.

I tried the same thing to solve this text issue, copying the font file I used in other wine environment into steam/steamapps/compatdata/271590/pfx/drive_c/windows/Fonts.

And, it's not working of course. I'm not sure about the mechanism of how the Proton using additional font files. So I'm asking for some help (or workarounds :joy:) here.

Thanks and regards.
