Please test in clean wineprefix without using winetricks. Or altering
configuration in any way.

Without setting ddr to gdi with Winetricks half of game screen is black in
fullscreen mode, only emulating virtual desktop runs fine. It is a common issue
of old games (sometimes not only old) runned with Wine.

Sure, grab the output.

I'm seeing the same problem with Airline Tycoon.

(I have to do winetricks ddr=gdi otherwise I just get a blank screen. Wine
1.3.36, Nvidia driver version 280.)

Since Airline Tycoon shows this problem maybe someone can add the download
keyboard to this bug; the demo can be downloaded from

Would be nice if some developer could take a peek at this. Probably not a big
deal, looks simple. I'd love to see that fixed, but I'm not a programmer.

Here you go, Airline Tycoon Evolution on Wine 1.5.16, clean wineprefix. Just a
short session (around 2-3 minutes), still no text visible in the game.

Game works fine for me when I've started X in 16bit color mode.
sudo xinit /usr/bin/xterm -- :1 -ac -depth 16
and in a new instance 
su - USERNAME

It is workaround but it should help to solve issue.

I just tried the demo, this has nothing to do with texts, but it claims that I
don't have enough space for install!! And I do.

The regression seem to gone away.

+font channel gives output similar to this

trace:font:freetype_SelectFont L"System", h=16, it=0, weight=700, PandF=22,
charset=0 orient 0 escapement 0
trace:font:freetype_SelectFont DC transform 1.000000 0.000000 0.000000 1.000000

0x1001e
trace:font:freetype_SelectFont 0x1001e L"System" 16 aa 11
trace:font:update_font_code_page charset 0 => cp 1252

the issue is still valid

1.7.51

I also experienced this but in addition I found that at 32bpp Airline Tycoon
wouldn't even start without the "emulate virtual desktop" option - I kept
getting page faults.

Emulate virtual desktop made the game run but as per the bug with missing
texts, etc. The xinit command given here didn't work for me, it just hung with
a black screen and I had to press CTRL + ALT + F2 to get back to my desktop.

I managed to get it working properly using Xephyr to set 16-bit colour depth
and then the texts showed correctly.

This is on Ubuntu 17.10 with Wine 2.0.4.

Do you mind adding this as a workaround on game's page [1]?

wine-devel-3.2 d3d debug log

This issue is still present in Wine-Devel-3.2. I'm currently trying with the
GOG version of the game and I have attached a d3d debug log from the game.

It seems like the workaround worked. DxWnd, does what i says in the other
comment. If set to 16 bit, the text is showing.

Demo seems to work for me with wine-6.10. I used a virtual desktop otherwise it
scaled poorly over my multiple monitors.
There was a crash on exit though, but that's a different bug.

Can anyone confirm?

@Gijs - can you please upload the screenshot of it working fine?
The main menu does not count. One needs to start the gameplay: observe the
in-game characters walk and enter the initial meeting.

I used the same game build as in my initial report: Airline Tycoon Evolution
1.03 in Polish.
Wine 6.10 on Debian 10.
The bug is still here, default fullscreen or Wine emulated virtual desktop. No
fonts rendered.

I can also confirm that using DxWnd.exe to force the game to run in 16 bit mode
solves the issue.
Forcing the game to run in a window is not necessary.

Here is an archive of how the demo looks for me. They look fine compared to the
screenshots you attached to the bug originally.

Indeed, it seems to be working for you.

Where did you get the demo from though? Can you post a link? Could be a
different version of the game.

Also, did you compare your Wine logs with the ones from 2018 produced by Håkon?

I am also willing to produce fresh Wine logs if you tell me which WINEDEBUG
flags would be helpful here.

It might be a good idea to check with the same demo that I tried. If that
works, the issue is probably game versions specific. If that version doesn't
work, it might be because I have different system fonts installed.

Interesting, I tested with Wine 6.13 and this patch was supposedly introduced
in 6.10?

(and it is not fixed for me)

I tried on my computer and it works for me with a new prefix, however I had to
use the Wine Desktop as the game crashed if I didn't. I think that's because of
the Wine XWayland/Wayland combination, but I haven't tried in a plain X11
environment.
