screenshot of nx session with unvisible strings

Setup:
- os: ubuntu 7.10 on a pentium 4 running the free edition of the nx server
3.1.0-5 from nomachine.com
- wine: 0.9.55~winehq0~ubuntu~7.10-1
- nx client 3.1.0-6 running on a g4 with macosx
- the pc running ubuntu and the are connected to the same local network 
(However, the bug also occured with previous ubuntu/wine/nx versions.)

Hello,

I am running ubuntu 7.10 on a headless pentium 4 to which I connect remotely
from a ppc-mac by using nx from nomachine. The two computers are on the same
local network.

When I start a windows application under wine, most of its strings in the
application's menus, buttons,... are invisible. Most strings are even invisible
in the "wine configuration" dialog.

However, when I set ubuntu to autologin and I use a vnc client to connect to
the vnc server in the autostarted gnome session, the strings are all visible.
(In other words, the problem does not occur when using vnc.)

Regards

Francesco

Not a blocker.
User found the Problem with his System (fontforge).

The mentioned FAQ that has helped doesn't mention fontforge. It would be
helpful if Francesco clarified what was the problem.

To me it looks like his system (a 64-bit ones) misses a 32-bit libXrender,
or a libXrender.so symlink.

I am running wine in ubuntu 7.10 for the i386 architecture on a pentium 4

Maybe that the faq is right and the problem is really related to macosx...
Anyway, the solution indicated in the faq solved the problem for me.

To clarify what I meant, I attached a screenshot to my first bug message.

Then I have no idea why you specified x86-64 as a hardware platform.

@Dmitry

Sorry for the mistake in the platform setting. In fact, I guessed that x86-64
stood for 32bit and 64 bit, which considering your comment is probably not the
case.

(As I was unsure, I gave many details in the first message of this bug thread.)
