Has anyone tried Fergs recommendation of moving the game to a new prefix to fix font bugs?
This was possible as long as the game was dependant on d3dx9_36. Now it is depends on d3dx9_43 and AFAIK there is no other workaround for it.
Also that was the reason why moving PoE into new wine prefix fixed the bug, as game was installing d3dx9_43 but back then it could run without it. Now it can't.
