In general wine is very slow and unstable. I suppose a problem with freetype among other problems. If you have managed to get one or more of this applications running, I would be grateful, if you helped me. Maybe it helps if you also gave me your library configurations in ~/.wine/config with which this applications should work and told me the versions of your freetype ,freetype and wine packages. Thanks in advance A. Madritsch
