New description:

 Chinese (Traditional) releases are currently unsupported. This ticket is
 provided as a record of current state, for whenever someone is ready to
 work on these.

 == Clouds of Xeen
 * Crash in opening movie. It appears that the resources are not fully
 unpacking. Log says `Could not open file - crodo3.voc!`

 * Fonts render improperly in opening subtitles, character sheet, town
 signs, etc. There is a font file `CHINFONT.FNT` that needs to be used.

 * Monster names and control panel are untranslated. TODO: Compare this
 against Dosbox.

 == Darkside of Xeen
 * There is a crash in the opening movie (assertion failed!).

 * If you skip that movie by pressing ESC, you can reach the main menu. I
 was able to start a new game, but the Chinese fonts are not displaying. It
 looks like the character sets are larger than the array used for Western
 languages. There is a font file `CHINFONT.BIG` that needs to be used.

 * Game also crashed on quit (assertion failed, no log message).

 == World of Xeen
 Untested. If there was no standalone release, then presumably the games
 could be combined by using the Darkside installer.
