Here you see that there is actually no font shadow and no line border.

Another screenshot of the installation of Java through Installshield

I can confirm your problem however that is not the biggest problem.
While extracting the files, InstallShield as one line message in the top white
part.
The first 5-6 letters are shown correctly, the rest is shown vertically at the
top and the bottom with one letter per line.

As long as this is the only problem though, I can live with it.

I just tested the current git version and noticed that the font drop shadow is
still off by one.
I will attach a screenshot.

A link to a small download showing it would help.

I mean an executable that can be tested on windows and wine. I.e., a demo of a
program with the problem.

Oh, sorry for the confusion... Yes, you can test with the Java-1.4 Installer

> Confirming.

In the last three releases of Wine (including the current 1.1.38), something
has been changed in Wine to cause some of the Installshield dialogs fonts to be
really messed up.  I am not sure what is really going on, but it looks like any
font like Arial, Courier New, etc. is defaulting to some far east font.

Also any Courier New font in windows help files will also display strange
characters.

Perhaps some font defaulting logic has been messed up or corrupted.

Doesn't appear to be an msi bug.
