Hello,
Seems Wine1.4 works, specifically the version Tony (submitter for Gold rating of game on Ubuntu 12.04) used to install, with only Directx 9 installed and no other modifications. I tried to install with Wine 1.6 and receive the invisible characters. Tony upgraded on a test machine from 1.4 to 1.6 and the characters went invisible.
I have not tested 1.7 yet. Please let me know what I should include for testing. I can create a new VM with Wine 1.4 to upgrade to 1.6 for regression testing. I am using Ubuntu 12.04.
A regression test between 1.4 and 1.6 would be useful. It's unlikely it was fixed before 1.7.0.
see https://wiki.winehq.org/RegressionTesting for more info. If you need help, use the forums.
