------- Additional Comments From daniel@papasian.org 2007-15-06 21:54 ------- In case this is useful, I had a repeatable crash on ubuntu 7.04 with wine 0.9.38 when going to battle.net. Was able to fix the problem entirely by installing MS core TTF fonts.
On most of my machines I'm used to rsyncing over microsoft fonts and doing ttmkfdir. On ubuntu (long time user of freebsd and occasional debian here, recently put ubuntu on the laptop), I was pleased to see apt-get install msttcorefonts; fc-cache -fv did the work for me.
