--- Comment #9 from Qian Hong fracting@gmail.com --- Created attachment 48046 --> http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=48046 Screenshot: clearly rendering on Ubuntu 12.04.2 + Wine 1.7.16
It works fine for me on Ubuntu 12.04.2 with Wine 1.7.16, with Font Replacement correctly set.
I guess this is a user misconfigured problem rather than Wine bug, but I don't have idea which part is wrong, maybe some special fontconf setting, maybe bitmap font is missing. If you could do a regression test as comment #1 said, we may have some idea which part is wrong; other wise you could try to install TdxW on Ubuntu with Wine ppa and see if it works, and then compares with your debian to see which package/configure is different, maybe that will be a lot of work.
Maybe some more experienced developers have better idea :)
