Bug ID: 38188
           Summary: Dead State: text missing in the character creation
                    screen
           Product: Wine

When you start a new game text is missing in the character generation screen.
Tested with the GOG version, demo version is available on Steam.
Installing corefonts/allfonts doesn't help.
A possible workaround can be found in Appdb:

You need to replace 'Saphire 30 (ansi).uft' and 'Saphire 48 (ansi).uft' with
their 'Segoe Print' counterparts.

The game uses the Torque engine and generates those .uft fonts run-time from
.ttf fonts located under ../core/fonts/source.
Probably something goes wrong when generating the font files.
I tried the game in Virtualbox (WinXP guest) and the generated .uft files have
different sizes than the ones created in Wine. After replacing those .uft files
text is rendered properly.

It's supposed to create these cache files only once on first launch, right? Is
it possible to get some logs at the time they are created? I'm afraid we'll
need +relay,+tid,+file, something like that.

I tried to create the log you requested, but the file grew over 10 GB and the
game didn't finish loading the main menu so I gave it up.
Now I retested in the git version and realized that the problem has already
been fixed by your commit:
http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/commit/af5884ffe5a8ba50630cf8e180ddb4d...

Likely a duplicate of bug #26345.
