To reproduce:
unzip http://www.klsoft.de/download/klasse5.exe cd "KLSoft - Mathematik" wine "Klasse 5 Demoversion.exe" Click on the lower right button "Bedienungsanleitung" A help window will pop up. There is supposed to be a bulleted list, but the bullets are either rendered as squares or are missing.
Workaround: copy file symbol.ttf from Microsoft Windows to ~/.fonts
Annoyingly, the font "Standard Symbol L" (a urw font which is preinstalled on Ubuntu Intrepid /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/s050000l.*, see also http://svn.ghostscript.com/viewvc/trunk/ghostpdl/urwfonts/StandardSymL.ttf and http://svn.ghostscript.com/viewvc/trunk/urw-fonts/StandardSymL.afm ) should have the needed symbols, but wine doesn't seem to be able to use it. Intrepid doesn't come with the .ttf version of that font, but downloading it and copying it into ~/.font doesn't help like copying the Microsoft one does.
Hmm, why isn't that font available to wine and/or why aren't the symbols found?
