wine users - Mar 2008 - IDAFree-4.9: screen does not get displayed properly

Hello,

when I try and run IDA (wine idafree49.exe) under wine-0.9.56 
(also wine-0.9.36) the screen with the assembler listing 
(and other listings) does not get displayed properly: 
The strings overwrite each other, thus leading to an unreadable 
result. Cf.

I have tried various settings in winecfg, but without success.

The graphics card is a matrox mga550, and the monitor is an lcd
monitor, connected via DVI port. Is this a problem for wine?

What could I do to get a "normal" display?

Bye, bye

That looks kind of like

Does doing
  wget http://superb-east.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/corefonts/courie32.exe
  wine courie32.exe
help?

Install msttcorefonts maybe?

I tested ida just now and I do not see any text being overwritten as you show in
your screenshot (I have msttcorefonts) but what I do see is ASCII  DC2 and DC3
chars inserted into some of the disassembly comments which show up as arrows
pointing up and down respectively.  Perhaps these control chars are doing
naughty things when using the wine font substitutes?  Are they supposed to be
there as a normal IDA behavior?  I have not used this program before so I have
no idea.

Yes, it does. Perfectly. I would have never thought that this was
a fonts issue.

Many thanks, indeed, for the quick response.

Bye, bye
