I am running the Xplore statistics package under Wine running under Linux. My OS is Fedora Core 11 and I am using the Gnome window manager. The Xplore program has an editing window in which one can write and edit the script-like programs to perform analyses, produce graphs etc. The editing window is not usable because the text in the window overlaps, i.e., the characters and words partially overlap so the text is obscured. This makes editing uncertain at best, so it isn't possible to use the editor, which is inconvenient. I will attach a screenshot that shows the editor on the left, and an output window on the right. The text/characters in other windows, like the output window, within the Xplore facility are just fine; only the editor is affected. I have tried all the Gnome font controls with no effect. I don't know whether the problem is one that might be solved within Wine, but I would appreciate any suggestions anyone might have.

What font does that window user? Have you tried installing corefonts?Thank you for the note. I am looking for the Wine version but have not found it. The FC-11 I am running is new as of about a month ago, and Wine was part of the installation. Also I run all the updates, and indeed did an update for wine directly (but was told no updates available). Your questions spurred some potentially useful discoveries. But I will need help figuring out what to do about them.

Totally cool! Thank you very much. The page on winetricks had excellent, clear instructions, including what to do if cabextract was needed, which it was on my FC-11 system. With your help and a couple of minutes winetricks did the trick. My XploRe editor now is functional.
