Hmmm, last error message before the segfault for me is fixme:font:CreateScalableFontResourceA (0,"arialn.fot","arialn.ttf","Z:\media\ExtHD\Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri"): stub Segmentation fault (core dumped)
version 9.55 of wine
Did you install this in wine or are you running from a windows install.
It doesn't matter. It also crashes if you install it from scratch in Linux. It's an old bug in the the winex11 code (I think). The code fails in the function X11DRV_SelectFont in xfont.c. I suspect it's because it tries to access a font it hasn't loaded, but I'm not sure of it. It definitely has something to do with the font code because it doesn't segfault if you comment out this code.
It might be related to CreateScalableFont because the scalable fonts aren't created.
