First of all, yes it’s a hentai game. You can believe it’s for my girlfriend or not.
I asked her if she’d like a Steam Deck and she said it fits how she’d probably play games, but she wants to play a bunch of games she got off MangaGamer and she wants to make sure they’d work on the Deck.
I have a thinkpad running Fedora so we installed one through WINE to try it out. Everything is working but all the text are these squares for missing characters.
Is there any easy way to install fonts and characters for WINE, or will we need to look at something like the ROG Ally instead?
With winetricks you can install all the missing fonts.
Thanks. I’ll look into it and see if that works
Also you can copy windows fonts if you have windows installed. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Microsoft_fonts#Using_fonts_from_a_Windows_partition

with MagicSetEditor a similar problem. i manually installed the fonts to, uh, somewhere
I know this trick, still searching where i put those damn fonts
Looks like you need winetricks to install CJK_fonts.
This is what fixed it, thank you. It must be that although the game is in English, it’s using the English characters from a Japanese font and character pack. Now I know what the issue is, playing these games on the Deck is more possible

No judgement bud. Nothing to add but a bit of cheekyness.
@tombruzzo @linux_gaming In particular when trying to run games in Japanese I’ve had to manually download windows fonts and place them in the right location for text to display properly.
Here’s the guide I used to fix this: https://learnjapanese.moe/vn-linux/#fonts-do-not-look-right
Adding to what others have already said, might be worth checking if Lutris has the game on their database, as it often comes with fixes that way. Even if it doesn’t, it’s definitely easier to manage the prefix and everything else later on if you install the games through it. Bottles is another option, although more minimalist.
That’s a good point. I’ve had Lutris installed but never really explored it. I’ll check that out too
