A quick read through the FAQ would reveal that you may have to install
fonts for proper display of information.  

Also, this is not a development issue at this time, please post to the 
appropriate mailing list, wine-users.

If you have error information that is being displayed, and it is not 
lengthy, please post back to the wine-users mailing list.

Thank you.

If you are using the legacy nVidia driver, that's a known bug in the driver.
