Those symbols come from marlett.ttf font that wine provides. Please check that it's installed. Maybe another font is picked for some reason.
Does this happen with clean prefix too? (without installing corefonts etc)
Well Ok, after a bunch of check and a full replacement by the winehq devel branch, I see that the issue does not exist on win7 devel branch
Sounds like it could be closed, and it was probably an ubuntu or mint specific issue
How should I do
