Is there an easy way to go back to using Wine > gdiplus rather than MS gdiplus? Being impatient, I created a new WINEPREFIX to test it in. Installed Mono from the 60MB download I'd already fetched. Installed Gecko by doing "wine iexplore". Got gdiplus with winetricks. This happened when I tried to run it: fun@heidi:~/.wine-awb/drive_c/Program Files/AWB$ ./AutoWikiBrowser.exe fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x61e2f0,0x00000000), stub!

Tried winetricks tahoma, same thing happened. Tried winetricks allfonts, same thing happened. So - that looks like a .NET backtrace. (Actually it looks like a Java backtrace, which is why I say it looks like a .NET backtrace.) But it mentions gdiplus a lot. Is this a defective implementation of gdiplus in Wine, in Mono, in the MS native DLL or is it something else in Mono? - d.
