Additional Comments

There is a strange small black window that exists for the lifetime of this application. It doesn't appear to do anything except redirect your cursor to the monitor containing the rest of the UI. You can safely hide this box in a corner of the screen so you don't accidentally hover over it and have it teleport your cursor. For best results, should be run in the ja_JP locale. Some strings in the UI will display incorrectly without it (although the application is still 100% usable even without those strings)

Although PANDA-EGG will run just fine in a default en_US locale, you will get much more aesthetically pleasant results by running it in a Japanese one. This isn't just because the various Japanese/Chinese/Korean usernames will actually show up properly, but also because a lot of the buttons and dialogs were sized expecting the somewhat-wider CJK fonts even for English text. Everything just looks a lot more polished in the Japanese locale.

With that in mind, here are the steps to be taken:

1. Install the cjkfonts package with:
   $ WINEPREFIX=~/.wine winetricks cjkfonts
2. Make sure you have generated the Japanese locales. In Arch Linux or Ubuntu, you can do this by editing /etc/locale.gen and making sure the following lines:
   ja_JP.EUC-JP EUC-JP
   ja_JP.UTF-8 UTF-8
   are present and un-commented. Then, run sudo locale-gen.
3. When running PANDA-EGG, make sure LC_ALL="ja_JP" is set (though you probably want to do this in the .desktop file or script you use to launch PANDA-EGG with, rather than setting LC_ALL globally, since that would set your locale to Japanese for all your programs).
