OK, at least we know it works if done properly now. The only question is how to do it properly. Maybe you just need to replicate the locale environment variables more fully. In Japanese Ubuntu mode, type locale | sed 's/^/export /' > setlocale.sh and also look at the output of 'locale'. Then set Ubuntu into English mode, log in, and do . setlocale.sh and then in the same window try locale and verify the settings look right for Japanese. Then *also in the same window* start a Wine app and see if it behaves better for Japanese. Or how about a native Linux app that works well with Japanese fonts when Ubuntu is in Japanese mode. Can you get one of those to use Japanese fonts when Ubuntu is in English mode?
