What works

Everything i have tested :

with defaults wine fonts, some texts are truncated

Workarounds

winetricks win10

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\WineBrowser]
"Browser"="xdg-open,firefox,konqueror,mozilla,netscape,galeon,opera,dillo"

@="C:\\\\windows\\\\system32\\\\winebrowser.exe -nohome \"%1\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\https\shell\open\command]
