wine users - May 2006 - No fonts in windows, dialogs, etc..

I use Gentoo Linux, with an up-to-date installation of Gentoo and Wine.  I
downloaded Winetools, and ran it.  To make a long story short, I can't get
any fonts or text in any 'Windows' dialogs, windows, etc.  (Except for
the title bar)  I have tried literally EVERYTHING to solve this problem.  I
'googled' for other people having the same problem, installed Arial and
the other MS fonts over and over.  I also worked through my xorg-x11 fonts setup
and everything looks fine.  (The FontPath lines in my xorg.conf file are OK, I
installed corefonts, freetype, etc.)

Here are a couple of pictures of what's going on:

   The second one is after installing Arial with Winetools, which should have
cleared up the problem.  I even went completely through Winetools, installing
everything 'blind', and the problem persists.  If someone could help
with this, I'd appreciate it.

Hi Marc

There have already been a few posts on this topic. I'll admit though not 
about Gentoo.

I am not an expert, however pls look into the latest version of 
fontforge being installed on your machine. No promises but it fixed the 
same problem indicated by your snapshots that I had on my system.

Cheers Bob
