Hello,
I am running a fully updated Intrepid Ibex 8.10 on my desktop. I
installed Wine from the repositories using
Code:
sudo apt-get install wine
Wine 1.1.12 is downloaded & installed correctly but none of the menus or
buttons have any text in them. Clicking on any button flashes the text on it.
Everything else is replaced by _ .
Here are a couple of screenshots :

and

I have tried everything to find a solution for more than a month now - posted on
forums, googled, tried reinstalling, compiling from source, using winetricks
everything that a newbie like me can think of. From all my searching, I have
realised that a lot of people have the same problem but none of them seem to
have a solution.
Please let me know & I'll post any other detail you might need promptly.
Note : I've also had the same problem with the latest Opera & Filelight.
Thank You

It appears that some fonts or font handling software is missing from your installation of this distribution of Linux. In other words this is not a Wine problems from what you state here.

And I thought that Nvidia was the way to go with Ubuntu Linux. Do the Nvidia drivers fix this problem so that Wine will display properly? James McKenzie
