Hi Dan,

Hmm, those fonts do look odd - sort of looks like antialiasing is not working at all.

What version of Wine are you using? The last configuration that I tested with on Linux Mint was this:

LinuxMint 16 (32 bit)
Video driver: Nouveau version 1:1.0.9-2ubuntu1
Wine: wine-1.4.1

If you're using a wine version newer than that, there is probably some bug that was accidentally introduced in Wine that is messing up the font handling.


So you may be able to solve the problem if you set up Wine version 1.4.1 for MoI to use. It's possible to do that but I think you have to build Wine yourself, not get it from a pre built package (since those want to go into one central location). See here for some instructions:

If you try setting up a build of Wine 1.4.1 and make it go into its own separate prefix like ~/.wine-1.4.1 that might work.


There tends to be quite a bit of churn in Wine and it's not unusual for especially cosmetic bugs to pop up in it and then get solved in new releases after a bit.
