Invisible text under WINE
« on: January 26, 2009, 12:24:08 pm »
I'm trying to run EA build 834 (Corporate) under WINE 1.1.12 on Fedora Linux 10 x86_64, and also under CrossOver Pro 7.1.0 on Mac OS X 10.5.6 ... but, in both cases the text contents of notes and hyperlinked text is invisible. (The text is there, I can read it by opening the Properties on the note or link)

I tried changing the font color and weight;  I used "winetricks" shell script to add "allfonts". So far, nothing works ... any other ideas other than running Windows in a VM?

Funny thing --  I have no problems with that.
Are you using wine default colors?
Here I am on an ubunutu 8.04 with wine 1.0, EA build 834 for wine.

I suspect the problem is that you're not using the wine build, it has some special processing to draw that text due to a lack of support in wine.  (Any by the way version 7.5 does away with the separate wine version to eliminate this sort of problem.)
