wine users - May 2006 - Problems with "Marco Polo Großer Reiseplaner 2005/2006" - Can't print/Street names not shown correctly/Route not shown

Hello.

Thanks to the tip to use Wine 0.9.12., I now successfully installed
"Marco Polo Gro?er Reiseplaner 2005/2006" on Wine 0.9.12. running
on Gentoo Linux. After the installation finished, I upgraded to
Wine 0.9.13.

First off, the names of the streets aren't printed correctly. Please
see <http://www.myimg.de/?img=WineMarcoPoloGroerReiseplaner2.png>.
As you can see there, the names of the streets aren't printed correctly -
they are printed on a gray box. On a real Windows XP installation, that's
not so.

Further, certain "sections" (most importantly for me, the Route
section) aren't shown - please see the screen shot mentioned earlier.
As shown there, when I select Route, just nothing is shown in the left
pane.

Lastly, printing doesn't work. Is that, because I've got no printer and
thus compiled Wine 0.9.12. without cups support? If so, is there a
way to be at least able to "print" to files?

Thanks,

Alexander Skwar

A problem with handling the alpha channel, I would guess.

That's not easy to guess. Do you get any console output that could be
related?

Yes. And I don't know. Try to find a "print to file" option in the
print
dialog.

Yes. You can start debugging and fix the code :-)

No, I don't have this program.

Try putting it in the applications directory.
