There is a font that displays _extremely_ poorly in the tooltips for the "Hello" photo-sharing application (http://www.hello.com/, harmless(?) registration required for download). I'm running the 6/15 wine source package, installed with "make install". Hello wants riched20.dll before it will do anything useful; this can be acquired at http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?riched20. The problem can be reproduced by bringing up a tooltip for one of the checkboxes on the login screen; it shows a completely unreadable string.
I've been looking at the output from the font and tooltip WINEDEBUG channels, and haven't found anything screamingly obvious. Does anybody have a suggestion for other channels to look at, or places to look in the source?
Thanks, Matt

Odd, this program won't even start for me. It keeps claiming my OS is too old, even when I've set Wine to Win98 or Win2k mode.

Install riched20.dll -- that was the only thing I needed to do to make it past that silly dialog. I also tried changing the Wine version info at first, but evidently the program thinks the missing DLL is equivalent to a too-old version of Windows.

PS: Sorry about the dll-files.com link in my first post; I just Googled for "riched20.dll" and took the first hit :/

As it turns out, the error messages drawn on the login screen display similarly. Check out the screenshot at http://www.cs.hmc.edu/~mbeaumon/wine-hello/font1.png; I'm documenting the problems I'm having with this application and Wine at http://www.cs.hmc.edu/~mbeaumon/wine-hello/.
Cheers, Matt
