wine users - Jul 2003 - Unreadable character.

Hi,

I'm running Wine in SuSE 8.2.
Unfortunately, I cannot read the character displayed
on the Windows application I would like to run using
Wine (the program itself can be loaded). In the other
words, the characters are completely unreadable (the
characters are just displayed as a sequence of "small
boxes").

Additionally, here is the information I received when
I run Windows (I use Wine to run the Yahoo! Messenger
Installer when I got this message):

Wine already configured, run 'winesetup' to
reconfigure.
fixme:win32:PE_CreateModule Security directory ignored
fixme:keyboard:X11DRV_KEYBOARD_DetectLayout Your
keyboard layout was not found!
Using closest match instead (German keyboard layout
without dead keys) for scancode mapping.
Please define your layout in windows/x11drv/keyboard.c
and submit them
to us for inclusion into future Wine releases.
See the Wine User Guide, chapter "Keyboard" for more
information.

What could be wrong and how to solve this problem?

Thank you in advance.

Generally this occurs because you have a symbol font in your 
windows/Fonts directory on your Wine "C:" drive. This causes Wine to 
only look in that directory for fonts. The options are to either remove 
the fonts from that directory, or better, install some regular TrueType 
fonts in that directory for Wine to find. The latter option will produce 
slightly better font rendering. Get the TrueType fonts from a real 
Windows install in C:\windows\Fonts and from
