Summary: Corrupted fonts render winecfg unreadable Product: Wine Version: 1.0.1 Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: scott@open-vote.org
From Launchpad: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine/+bug/300476
This is what winecfg looks like: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19841385/Wine%20Font%20Issue.png
Upgrading from Ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 caused this. The only relevant difference I can spot in the Wine package is that it went from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1, however I suspect that the problem here is some underlying library. But which one?

--- Comment #1 from Austin English austinenglish@gmail.com 2008-11-21 18:42:51 --- Does reverting wine to 1.0.0 fix it?

It might be from a recent update in 8.10.

If you're affected by this, please post the output of the three commands cat /etc/issue lspci | grep -i vga and dpkg-query -W nvidia-glx-*

Sure enough. So I guess the Render extension is busted with the nvidia-96 drivers on Intrepid?

My parameters:

--- Comment #10 from Dan Kegel dank@kegel.com 2008-12-07 11:27:31 --- Yeah. What we need is somebody to try the vanilla unupdated ubuntu 8.10 from cd-rom and see if it lacks this problem. Then we can point our fingers squarely at the update...

The user in comment #9 is using Arch Linux (I sent him here from the forum), so this problem is not limited to Ubuntu.

Yes, there are few reports in ArchLinux forum: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=461081#p461081
IMO it's the driver bug, the nvidia-96xx driver. It could be a conflict with new xorg or kernel.
I've solved my problem by switching to the open source driver xf86-video-nv. Now my wine applications work fine, except the Canon DPP - It works, but I can't upgrade to the newest version. However, I'm satisfied for now :o)
I'll wait for future, for better driver version or for better PC with new graphic card :o) I'm going to write a message to Santa.

Which makes this bug invalid.
Perhaps we should keep it open until a fix is out, to make searching easier...
