Lotus Notes 5.0.8. See icon_wrong.png. This text was displayed correctly 
in wine 0.9.44-1. See icon_right.png. Then in wine 0.9.58-1 is was displayed

I git-bisected wine and here are the offending commits. Previously the text was
displayed correctly as "hb on Local".

Changed to "hb on: Local" by this commit:

commit bc2a4dbee086de69cd05a30f3d717cb6858d030c
Author: Huw Davies 
Date:   Fri Oct 12 14:36:44 2007 +0100

gdi32: Try to load Wine's TrueType fonts from the build directory.

And later changed to "hb on[]Local" (whith the box symbol) by this commit:

commit 4094ff025675a14e7572d975d4fd1bf7c11dc2e7
Author: MikoÅaj Zalewski 
Date:   Sun Mar 30 21:43:15 2008 +0200

gdi32: Fix GetGlyphIndices to select properly the invalid char glyph for
TrueType fonts.

I guess there is some invalid character in the string for the font loaded by
wine. The second commit just changes which character is substituted for it.

If I remove /usr/share/wine/fonts, the text is displayed correctly again.

Cheers,
harry

Forgot to mention: this is not a problem of the Notes version. It still happens
with Notes 8.

I agree that deleting/moving the /usr/share/wine/fonts dir solves the problem
but it adds a significant other.

The fonts detorioate(so does my english) in quality a lot. I'd rather have
those boxes and read the rest pleasantly.
ps this was in 1.0 rc1 and notes 5.0.12

Not for me. It probably depends, what other fonts you've installed and which
get selected.

What system are you on? I'm on Debian, while a collegue of mine on Suse doesn't
have this problem (same Wine version). So maybe this is Debian specific.

It could depend on whether you've installed msttcorefonts, which Debian
considers too non-free to install by default.

Ok.... did a bit of testing......

With the font directory in place. The font settings of notes do not react in
the notes interface  (it does for instance work in email's, this has always put
me off)

Take the /usr/share/wine/fonts away and presto the settings in user preferences
actually make a difference......

Hence why my interface became ugly since courier, @ the spot sans, was chosen
as standard  which is bad ;). And apperantly that is the font used in the
icons.

I'm just keeping them all on bitstream vera for now in the respected mono serif
and sans version for multilangual i choose the serif version.

This way everything looks ok ... and i did not install anything except gnome
wine notes winegecko acrobat. And this is all on a reasonable standard centos
4.6 installation
