------- Additional Comments From the3dfxdude@gmail.com 2006-29-08 18:21 ------- Ok I believe I have identified your problem fonts. Remove the following font files from your font path:
/usr/share/wine/fonts/sserife.fon /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-arabeyes/ae_AlBattar.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-devanagari-fonts/samanati.ttf
Then it should work using gdi surfaces. It does now on my ubuntu box.
