With Wine 1.3.12, application PAF5 does display text. However, the application crashes after clicking on four chapter titles. I filed a new bug #25873 for that new symptom.
I'm not able to tell whether the root cause of this bug is the same as or different from that of #25873, so I don't know whether this one should or should not be marked fixed. The symptoms have varied for this one, so it _might_ be the same root cause.
I'm as puzzled about where the problem begins as you are. In the App I maintain, "Mozart," the author has placed the help system in *.chm, aka "Compiled HTML" files. A third party chm viewer renders these fairly well.
I've noticed that a wine program that comes with the release, "hh.exe," gives the same rendering as the help window that opens when accessing help from Mozart. I.E., no images, no active links, etc. But I don't know if this is what is being used when runing an app, and therefore is a logical place to look, or if the rendering takes place elsewhere. I could also start bugs for the various bits I've noticed, but it does seem like an un-necessary proliferation if all this stems from the same point.
