I'm having a strange problem with Wine - it will not show any characters in any windows, UNLESS I delete Wine's registry files - then it will show characters for the first program run, but no other programs thereafter (including repeat runs of the first program).
So, for example, I can run "winecfg" and it will show the config window, with 2 rows of tabs, but no text anywhere. If I then delete ~/.wine/*.reg and re-run winecfg, it will show the characters, and interestingly enough it will place the tabs in one long row rather than 2 rows. If I then run, say, regedit, it will NOT show any characters at all. If I exit winecfg and re-run it, it will now show no characters, and it will place the tabs into 2 rows.
I've run it with WINEDEBUG=+font and don't see anything screamingly obvious in terms of errors.
This is with a fresh full checkout from CVS as of yesterday (11 Apr 2006), built, and installed (after removing /usr/include/wine, /usr/lib/wine, and /usr/bin/wine*), under SuSE 9.3.
Soooo - any suggestions for things to look for?
