Does "fixes for right to left languages" mean I'll be able to play visual novels in Japanese without switching the entire system language to Japanese? As it is with WINE games if you don't change your system language and the game's text is in Japanese, it will display as a bunch of squares.

As it is with WINE games if you don't change your system language and the game's text is in Japanese, it will display as a bunch of squares.Have you tried launching the games with something like:
LANG=ja_JP wine /path/to/game.exe
instead of changing the whole system’s language?
This was a good idea, but I just tried it on Steam and then opened Nekopara Vol. 0, and both in-game and in the Steam interface there were squares everywhere in place of kanji/kana. I blame Steam. In any case, sorry for the off-topic comments Liam.

Subterrain from Pixellore is now fully playable under Wine 1.9.12. Only thing that needs to be done is to set "glsl=disabled" in winetricks and the game plays beautifully.
Still can't get Lichdom: Battlemage or 8-bit Armies to run, though...
