I ran a VB app from http://www.yardi.com with the command
$ wine --dll compobj,storage,ole2,ole32=n Y.EXE
It initially died because COMPOBJ.DLL didn't implement ordinals COMPOBJ.201 and COMPOBJ.207, so I copied compobj.dll from Windows Me, and that got rid of the crash.
However... there's a bit of font corruption in both the splash screen and the opening file dialog box. I'm attaching .png images for both. They're pretty much unreadable. So I reran with --debugmsg +font, and am attaching the log (compressed, this time!).
Any suggestions? I could run the app under XP and get traces or screen dumps if that would help. - Dan

Hi Dan
Wine only finds one font file (/home/dank/c/windows/Fonts/AdvMicr.ttf). My guess is that previously you'd been defaulting to X11 fonts and then some app installed this font, Wine now sees this and uses client side fonts. The problem is that things don't look great when you've only got one font to choose from, especially if it's a symbol type font :)
If you add a [FontDirs] section to the config file with lines of the form: "dir1"="/unix/path/to/font/dir" "dir2"="/another/path/to/fonts" ... where the directories contain TrueType font files then hopefully things should look better.
[Did I say that we should have libfontconfig support in Wine...]

By golly, that did the job. Thanks! Now on to the next buglet. - Dan
