Answer 1

I had experienced a same problem about Korean. More easier way is here.

1. Find default font for snap notepad-plus-plus.

$ gedit ~/snap/notepad-plus-plus/common/.wine/system.reg

"MS Shell Dlg"="Gulim"

2. Copy the font file into snap notepad-plus-plus wine folder. (For me, it was Gulim.ttc)

$ cp Gulim.ttc ~/snap/notepad-plus-plus/common/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts/

3. Relaunch snap notepad-plus-plus

Answer 2

sudo apt-get install fonts-wqy-zenhei
