wine users - Aug 2009 - Safe Harbor Games : Backgammon - Almost works with Wine

Safe Harbor Games (http://www.safeharborgames.net/) is a popular site in the
backgammon community.  I am one of several people trying to get the game server
to work on Linux with Wine.  I am using a Asus EEE 1000HE with the latest
version of Easy Peasy (Ubuntu) and Wine.  The game software requires browser to
launch and I was successful in getting this to work by loading windows version
of Firefox.  In fact, with exception of a few critical issues the program works
with Wine.  I can play a match and most of the controls work except for the
following.  1.  Cannot post chat message in either lobby or game because after
typing message the software requires hitting [enter] and under Wine hitting
[enter] has no effect. 2.  Should be able to double-click on player name in
lobby to send a instant message but double-click does not work.  3.  This last
is less critical, but fonts do not display correctly.  So the result is I can
play on the game site but cannot communicate with anyone.  I would greatly
appreciate if someone could help solve these issues.  Thanks

Wine version? Anything in the terminal?

Sounds like you don't have anti-aliasing enabled:
