This is really font related thing. winetricks corefonts solve this. And I found that this thing is gentoo related.
No this is not gentoo related. I have Debian Lenny i have same problem, i.e. i also need "winetricks corefonts", otherwise i also have black rows.
So i think, that proper state should be NEW and not RESOLVED INVALID.
Not gentoo related, but to work without winetricks you need install corefont package ( I think msttcorefonts in debian ) and compile wine --with-fontconfig. So I don't know to think that this is a bug or distro problem.
