Hi again, I was able to solve my problem with installation of the both native RichText Libraries. This URL pointed me to the solution: http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4614684 --> sh winetricks riched20 riched30 ==> installs and activates both RichText NATIVE Libraries --> now I can install and use EA without problem Important: The emulated Windows flavour should be WinXP (at least NOT Win98 - this is wrongly described at Sparx Systems). So - the Wine-Internal replacement of both RichText Libraries have to be enhanced to support Enterprise Architect without native replacements. Kind Regards, Achim ################################# Hi, thanks for the idea - but it does not work. I get the following debug output - filtered - I hope that this can help somehow: Filtered output since program start: fixme:richedit:RichEditWndProc_common WM_STYLECHANGING: stub fixme:richedit:RichEditWndProc_common WM_STYLECHANGED: stub fixme:font:GetCharacterPlacementW flags 0x00000012 ignored fixme:font:GetCharacterPlacementW classes not implemented err:richedit:CharAttr unknown font 0 fixme:richedit:RichEditWndProc_common EM_FORMATRANGE: stub fixme:richedit:RichEditWndProc_common Unsupported yet non NULL device in EM_SETTARGETDEVICE fixme:x11drv:X11DRV_SelectPen PS_USERSTYLE is not supported The following output is generated while program window is refreshed (with diagram where the problematic note-text isn't displayed): fixme:x11drv:X11DRV_SelectPen PS_USERSTYLE is not supported fixme:richedit:RichEditWndProc_common EM_FORMATRANGE: stub fixme:richedit:RichEditWndProc_common Unsupported yet non NULL device in EM_SETTARGETDEVICE (these lines are printed in different order several times) Question: Can I try to set some suitable library overrides - maybe with installing some native libraries before? - somehow crossover-office seems to handle this situation Thanks, Achim Am Donnerstag, 28.
