This function should be guarded by an #ifdef. On my 32-bit build, I
get:

For some reason, this renders without a space between "the" and the
"Wine FAQ" link. Also half of the last 'x' and the period are cut off.

It could be an issue on my system. I'm not very familiar with how RC
files work.

Other than those issues, it seems to work as intended.

It renders okay on my system. (I do have the MS core fonts installed systemwide; I don't know if that could be a factor.)

The one thing I would suggest is leaving out the FAQ section names so the message simply reads "Please refer to  the <a href="http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ%5C%22%3EWine FAQ</a> for instructions on how to create a 32 bit Wine prefix." That way it will still be valid even if the FAQ gets rearranged.

Ah, yes, this was frustrating me as well.  But I think it's unrelated to my patch.  What distro/desktop environment are you using, out of curiosity?  I had the same issue with text getting cut off until I switched from an Ubuntu (Unity) machine to a Lubuntu (LXDE) machine.  I suspect that if you check all the other tabs of winecfg, you'll probably see other text getting cut off (at least I did).  Probably it's some broader issue with fonts/DPI/compositors/spooky action.  I'll add that to the list of things I'd like to investigate if I can ever find the time.
