LTSpiceXVII that is a spice simulator coded for Windows, but explicitly
mentioning the possibility of using it with WINE uses Tahoma as its default
font and cannot properly show resistance values without that glyph.

Output of FontForge with WineTahoma

It seems to me that Omega symbol (U+2126) is already implemented into
WineTahoma, perhaps it is another font or a different issue.

I solved the bug by installing the tahoma2 component from the playonlinux menu,
this means that the integrated wine font is buggy.

Probably, LTSpice is using U+03A9 "GREEK CAPITAL LETTER OMEGA" instead of
U+2126 "OHM SIGN".
They are identical, but in current WineTahoma fonts, U+03A9 is missing.
Fixing should be easy, with FontForge it is just needed to copy U+2126 and
paste it to U+03A9.

I don't know, it may be, I've never edited a font. However by installing the
tahoma2 font the appearance of ltspice is better, the fonts of all the menus
seem cleaner and without jaggies
