--- Comment #15 from Austin English austinenglish@gmail.com 2009-02-21 17:53:11 --- A series of patches went in to fix this: http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/?a=commitdiff;h=8330e11ca743c861c325bc... http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/?a=commitdiff;h=4e0c277daa2c955eb0e92b...
And finally the symbol.ttf itself: http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/?a=commitdiff;h=fd37a3207266e3fcaeada9...
I tested one of the duplicate bugs that has a download (bug 16619), which works fine.
Please retest in git or wait for wine 1.1.16.
