I stopped manual fiddling with Wine several moons ago -
for me installing Zorin was good enough to run vfp, Office97

As my codepage is closer to US this might not work for you,
but DL and run as live system without install might be easy way to check.

Their gimmick an easy way to enable Wine with their install
winr their current version.

Tried PlayOnLinux ?

>When I quit my last gig in 2019 I was still running one of windowses as a virtual. Then I stopped and just didn't fire up the virtual W7 anymore. What VFP apps I still maintained for my own pleasure were run under wine. I did have some codepage trouble back then, but didn't quite write down how I solved them, foolishly thinking that they'll stay solved.

>Not so. Few days ago, as I upgraded something on my Mint 21 Cinnamon, the windows apps started crashing on each use of clipboard. I discovered that my wine was version six, ah so it is way obsolete, okay, update. I got wine 8.0 (stable) and now when I type šđžčć i get šdžcc. Ditto for clipboard content coming from a linux app. Internally, clipboard does carry all letters. It can also display them all, though all the controls have reverted to showing the content as 1252, including form captions and _screen.caption.

If there's no solution, I'll rewrite the stuff in python/dabo and generally forget about Fox. Because other codepages are forever an afterthought, they get solved the last and get removed in next version the first.
