I'd like to get Mozy (online backup software, see mozy.com) working under Wine. I'm not sure I have all the skills, but I'm willing to try and write the necessary patches. In particular I need to fix bug 10932 http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10932. This appears to be a problem with the fonts and/or the way text is rendered in general. Can anyone suggest a starting point for me? My programming experience has all been on Windows, so I don't know much about Wine and Linux. I tried looking through the output of +relay, but besides some WM_SETFONT messages there wasn't anything that looked very useful.

This may be an extension of the same problem I am having with e-Sword and that is you have to use a native copy of riched20.dll. Might I suggest getting a copy of this and placing it in the same directory as the Mozy software installs to. Then use winecfg to create an entry for the main executable and then under libraries set riched20.dll to be native then builtin. See if this makes the text visible.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I finally tracked the problem down to a flaw in user32.LoadStringW. I have sent in a patch, and will check user32.LoadStringA as it probably has the same flaw.
