Thanks very much. I have upgraded to wine 1.1.1 and as you say, the install and app run without msvcp71.dll errors. But this only enables me to get to the spot I had somehow, through repeated attempts, gotten to before my first post. If I run Russian or Kazakh, there are missing characters replaced by a box and characters that are just wrong (compared to a OS X install). This may be more of a Cyrillic character-set problem than a font problem. "winetricks fontfix" has no visible effect. "winetricks allfonts" causes the app to fail on startup: $ wine "./drive_c/Program Files/Transparent/Before You Know It 3.6/Lite/BYKI36WinLite.exe" fixme:keyboard:X11DRV_LoadKeyboardLayout L"E0010412", 0100: stub! fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x32efec,0x00000000), stub! fixme:dciman:DCICreatePrimary 0x35c 0xc0128c XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0.0" after 55377 requests (55369 known processed) with 0 events remaining. I have a Vista partition. I'm going to investigate copying fonts from there. Thanks, LB
