Greetz guys, I have recently installed Wine 1.3.0, with winetricks (31/7/2010), and installed all the fonts available (via winetricks allfonts). Everything downloaded and "installed" fine. Now, I was playing Half-Life 2 on Wine 1.2 and it was working perfectly. I've installed Wine 1.3.0 and continued my game. But now, the fonts are messed (there are random letters missing from text). I've completely purged Wine and reinstalled Wine 1.3.0, installing all the fonts again, but the game is still displaying missing letters. I'm yet to try Wine 1.2 again, but has anyone else noticed this issue? Cheers. r2rX :D
Have you updated graphics drivers in the meantime? If not, this is probably a regression in Wine and you should report a bug on bugs.winehq.org.
Thanks James. What is the procedure for running a regression test? Also, i'm replacing my ATi card with an nV card so I can test new games/review older ones that haven't been updated, in the App DB, for a while. :) r2rX :)

Thanks dimesio. r2rX :)
I experience this issue the with ATI fglrx drivers: 10.5 = Works fine 10.6 = Missing letters 10.7 = Missing letters I have an ATI 5770 card and are using Ubuntu 10.04
Thanks Aaron, It no longer seems ot be an issue with Wine v1.3...I'm reporting that I am getting the exact same issue with Wine v1.2 as well....the only constant is the Catalyst 10.7 driver. So i'm gonna install the 10.5's and see if it helps. I'll reinstall Wine v1.3 and check it out....cause i've noticed that there is a speed improvement (at least noticed in Source engine-based games) in 1.3 over 1.2. r2rX :)

Thanks Aaron. I made the .deb but my conflict was still there. There seemed to be some remnants of prior drivers which were causing conflicts. Once those were sorted, the drivers initialized just fine. And to confirm, it's definitely the Catalyst drivers. Using the 10.5's show no errors at all. All fonts and textures are displayed perfectly. I won't bother testing the 10.6's....the results will most likely confirm your findings, Aaron. Oh well...I will be rid of these issues in a week or so, when I get a GTX 480. Thanks for all the help, guys. ;) r2rX :D
B.T.W, the results are perfect using Wine v1.3 as well.

Instead of being an insensitive ass, I have added a comment on Aaron's bug report, as well as confirming that the 10.6's also do not work. This bug stems from 10.6 onwards. Thanks Aaron; and apologies James. r2rX
Out of curiosity, what's the issue with WoW? r2rX :)
Hi, I have the same issue with Catalyst 10.7 and wine 1.3.0. Fonts messed up and low performance in-game. I hope someone gets that fixed, I'd love to play in linux :P
This is an issue with ATi. If you want to try and help, go to the thread that Aaron created on the ATi bug site: http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1876 Comment on this thread.....if enough people do, ATi might consider fixing it. r2rX :)
In the BugZilla thing from ATI mentioned above, they said they can duplicate it. So I guess it will get fixed in the next Catalyst release. Yay!
