Wine cannot find the FreeType font library. To enable Wine to
use TrueType fonts please install a version of FreeType greater than
or equal to 2.0.5.

However Icewind Dale 2 still runs fine. But if I install freetype then it won't run at all and fails with a page fault.
None of the other IE games I've tested has this problem. Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate 2: ToB both work with or without freetype.
The latest Fedora 9 RPM install of Wine (0.9.58-1) will give the following complaint without freetype installed:

Upgrade to 1.0-rc3 and if it doesn't work, file a bug. What freetype version?
I can't upgrade, there's no RPM. The only RPM for that version of Wine exists in the Fedora 7/8 update-testing repo and I'm using Fedora 9 so there will likely be a bunch of conflicts if I try to install from there.
The freetype version is 2.3.5-4. I've also just discovered that it's only the 32-bit version of freetype that causes this (since I've already got the 64-bit version installed). But I guess that's to be expected since I've got the 32-bit version of Wine.
Although there is no RPM for Wine 1.0-rc3 in the standard fedora repos the folks at fedora managed to find a workaround for the rc3 compile issue and there are RPMs for the whole Wine package sitting in updates-candidate. They can be downloaded here and installed fine on my Fedora 9.
Also, it fixes the page fault that occurs if IWD2 is run with 32-bit freetype installed.
