Bug ID: 35916 Summary: -no-dwrite: Disabling dwrite does NOT solve my missing text problem. Product: Wine Version: 1.6.2 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: tcm.schlacten@gmail.com
When trying to use Steam in Wine, there was no text, making the program impossible to use. I googled this and found that disabling dwrite fixes the problem. The only thing is, it didn't actually fix anything. I started Steam with Wine using -no-dwrite and there was still no text. I then entered regedit with Wine and created DWriteEnable, setting it to 0. This didn't help either, Steam still had no text. Please tell me whether there's anything I can do, as this is the only solution I've found, and it doesn't work for me. Should I reinstall Steam using -no-dwrite? Anyway, this is highly irritating, I expect Wine to be able to run the few Windows programs I need properly, otherwise I'm ditching GNU/Linux all together, or finding out whether there's any alternative to Wine. My hopes aren't high for the latter. If this is unsolvable, I'm extremely disappointed with Wine.
