http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23842

Summary: Fonts corrupted or missing characters
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P3
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

When playing Alien Swarm, one of the in-game fonts usually exhibits some degree
of corruption; by which I mean that characters are either not rendered or only
their bounding box is. The character still takes up space. The degree of damage
varies from start to start, and may vary in a single session. The nature of the
damage also varies, although disappearing glyphs are the most common symptom.

A similar effect has been observed in Dawn of War: Dark Crusade.

I'm using fglrx from ati-drivers 10.4; I also tried 10.7 and it made no
difference.

I tried resetting .wine; no difference.

I tried removing /usr/share/fonts via chroot/symlink hax; no difference.

I screwed with UseFastTLS in xorg.conf; no difference.

I tried wine 1.1 and 07-30-10 git head .. no difference.

I'm quite simply out of ideas.
