Give more info. Why can't the main window size be changed ? I can see
2 reasons :
- the window could be created as a managed window with no
possibility for the window to be resized. This is a nasty problem
(difficult to fix) because there are fundamental differences between
Windows and X Window. Running with -desktop 800x600 would
get rid of the problem for now.
- there are mechanisms for win apps to restrict the size of their
windows (responding to the WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING message,
using WM_GETMINMAXINFO). Possibly the Wine implementation
is not 100% correct. Is the app using one of these ?
Maybe you could do a log of the app with +debugmsg +win,+relay and
post the reference to a web page with this log; I could take a look at
it and maybe help the developer (if he wants to mail me my current
address is gerard.Patel at asi.fr)

Strange. I don't know much about fonts. They are not appearing
in the standard font dialog ? There is the possibility to run with
-debugmsg +font, that will give you a ton of info about what Wine
is doing with the fonts.
