I think the problem you see is actually bug 11436
There's a hackish patch in that bug report that fixes the unreadable font issue for me in Blender 2.7.1

Wine 1.7.23
Nvidia gfx card / binary drivers 340.24

How I can download the hackish patch and install to fixes the unreadable font issue for me in Blender 2.7.1?


Ubuntu 12.04_amd64
Wine 1.4.2
Nvidia Gs 8400

Your Wine version is very old and is no longer supported. Please upgrade to the latest development version (1.7.23 as of writing).

If you want to use a patched Wine you have to compile it from source.
I can't give you step by step instructions on how to compile Wine on Ubuntu because I'm on a different distro, maybe this page helps:
http://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu

Generally speaking, you have to download and extract the tarball containing the Wine source:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wine ... 23.tar.bz2

Extract the source somewhere in your /home, download the patch from that bug report and place the patch file in the Wine source directory then apply the patch:

Code: Select all

patch -p1 <0099-EndlessSpace-WGL-ShareList-Hack.patch

Then you have to issue the commands:

Code: Select all

./configure
make

to compile Wine.
If compiling succeeded run your patched Wine from the source tree, do not install it system-wide.

It is possible to use a patched Wine to compile it from source compile Wine 1.7.23 for a WoW64 setup etc...
