--- Comment #6 from Gustavo gugamilare@gmail.com 2008-03-21 16:43:49 --- I guess I couldn't compile wine correctly.
I tested this same issue on two computers. On both of them, when I tried to compile at first, an error was signaled (no matter what wine version it was). Then I followed the directions of this site:

It worked, but, on both machines, iexplore showed the letters as in the attachment (probably with no anti aliasing), but worked in any versions of wine.
Now, in one of the computers, iexplore began working correctly (probably after I installed some packages, which makes me believe it is a dependency problem), but in the other it didn't happen (I didn't installed any more packages in this one). But, as I told, wine iexplore works correctly with version 0.9.46 (and, if I remember well, worked fine until version 0.9.54 but not 0.9.55).
Using the compiled version, the terminal output makes me believe the libXrender is the broken dependency:
fixme:xrender:X11DRV_AlphaBlend not supported - XRENDER headers were missing at compile time
Well, that is all information I could get.
