please add your comment to this bug
I think the problem I once had (and solved as described in
http://www.winehq.com/pipermail/wine-users/2006-September/023525.html) was a different one.
Not only some characters showed up as boxes (e.g. german umlauts), but a WRONG FONT was used. All
dialogs, menus etc. appeared in a "Courier"-style type-writer like font.
Like Wolfram reported (http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-users/2006-October/023678.html), this
was not the case until version 0.9.8, but occurred beginning with 0.9.9.
It looks like the patch you mentioned, Piotr,
(http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-cvs/2006-May/022564.html) has been issued after version 0.9.9.

Hallo Wolfram,
maybe this the same problem I had for a long time. See:

Hope this helps,
Jens

hello,
I have a problem with an unsuitable font in the
windows menus/dialogs with the above versions of wine
(dont think this depends much on the versions, though.
Have not tried other versions so far.) when using
debian sarge.
The font seems to look a bit ugly, usually destroys
partly the menu/dialog structures, and, most
important, has no German umlaut's (the diphtongs ae,
oe, ue and others) which I need definitely.
I have, on an old small HD, a 'trial' debian sarge
wine0.9.8 installation that does not have this defect:
There the font has the umlauts, looks pretty and does
not destroy menu/dialog elements.
Similarly, on 2 SuSE9.3/wine installations the problem
is also not present.
Somehow I will have to change the system font I
supppose!??
In the user /.wine configuration directory there are
several (reg-)files with relation also to fonts. But I
could not make succesful font changes by editing any
of these files.
Moreover, I copied the 'good' .wine-configuration
files from the above old trial debian HD to my 2
troubled installations - without any remarkable effect
on the behaviour of wine at all...
I would be lucky to get some help...

Hello Jens,
Hello everybody,
This link you have found about similar font problem is mine:
http://www.winehq.com/pipermail/wine-users/2006-September/023525.html
I should have written to this list to let you know how it ended. I discovered
that this is a wine bug:
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6049
I am pretty sure that this is a real bug, because I checked wine-git tree with
bisect and there was an obvious bug in a patch from qingdoa daoo. It was also
reported by someone else.
I thought this is a minor thing, that nobody cares, but if it is not, please
add your comment to this bug, so we can persuade that this is more important
or make the status change to "confirmed", because nothing happens.
The bug was opened on 2006-08-25 02:25
regards
Piotr Sawicki
