AutoWikiBrowser (AWB) is a Wikipedia-oriented browser for doing repetitive editing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:AWB AWB is a .NET 2.0 application. It doesn't work in Wine under Mono 1.2: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8499 - but I see Mono 1.9 (preview of 2.0) is out, so decided to give it a go: http://www.go-mono.com/mono-downloads/download.html It doesn't actually work yet, apparently because of an unimplemented function in gdiplus.dll: fun at heidi:~$ '/home/fun/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/AWB/AutoWikiBrowser.exe' fixme:spoolsv:serv_main (0 (nil)) wine: Call from 0x7b840f50 to unimplemented function gdiplus.dll.GdipCreateFontFamilyFromName, aborting err:seh:setup_exception stack overflow 16 bytes in thread 0011 eip 7b841946 esp 00410ff0 stack 0x411000-0x620000 Any ideas on simple workarounds? Is the above worth adding to bug 8499 as yet? (And if you have an app that wants .NET 2.0, give Mono 1.9 for Windows a try!) - d.

So try sh winetricks mono12 gdiplus and see if that makes your app happy.

Is there an easy way to go back to using Wine gdiplus rather than MS gdiplus? >You may be interested in the WINEPREFIX environment variable. Quick example for the console: WINEPREFIX=~/.winetest wineprefixcreate WINEPREFIX=~/.winetest wine yourapplication.exe This works well for testing applications in relative isolation of other applications installed in the default ~/.wine folder.
