Created an attachment (id=14969) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=14969) Console output from installing and then launching Soundslides
A Ubuntu 8.04 user posted a message on the forum that Soundslides Plus in Wine was not displaying some of the text that would normally be displayed in Windows. She posted screenshots of how it appeared on her computer in both Wine and Windows. (http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=1771&postdays=0&postorder=as...)
I downloaded the demo and found that the text did not appear on my system either; a third forum user also confirmed that they saw the problem, too. One person, however, tested the demo and did not experience this problem. There was some discussion as to what differences between our systems might be the cause, but no clear pattern emerged.
The original poster contacted the program's developer, who noted in his reply that "All of the missing text is rendered via the same font (coded as "_sans" which should target to your default sans-serif system font)." The developer thought the problem might be missing MS core fonts, however, both the original poster and I already had the core fonts on our systems, and copying them to Wine's windows/fonts directory did not solve the problem.
I am uploading my console output from installing the program and then launching it, along with a screenshot of what should be the EULA during the install.
