Fedora WineCFG unable to display text

[PlanetReivax]

Greetings. I'm new here, as you can obviously tell, and the thread topics on the forum indicate that this is place to go to ask silly questions. My current problem is an attempt to run SimCity 4 on my Fedora laptop. The laptop is a standard Dell Latitude D810. I tried running a VM of Windows XP but I'm getting problems there too, but thats a post for another thread.

Currently, I am using Fedora Relase 9 (Sulphur) Kernel 2.6.24-78.2.41.fc9.i686 and GNOME 2.22.3.

I intalled wine via "yum install wine" and all went well. I then ran "winecfg" and a graphical interface appears with six tabs. The problem is that I cannot read anything in the window except for the shadowed text. It's rather annoying to explain so I've attached a screenshot. I don't know why it shrink the image so small. However, the closest I can say is that only 1 in 4 pixels of each character is displayed. It looks really grainy and if I already knew what it should say, I could figure what is selected. It doesn't seem that it's an installed font problem because the shadowed text is crystal clear.

Unable to run any special configuration, I attempted to run the setup.exe file just by hitting enter. It starts to run, I think. Rather, the cursor changes from the usual pointer to the pointer with the spinny circle, which I can only assume is the equivalent to hourglass. Then it goes back to the normal indicator.

So foremost, I need, and by "I need" I mean "I need you to" diagnose the problem with the problem with winecfg.

Looking at the screenshot, I think it is a display resolution/font problem. Try installing fetchmsttfonts to install windows fonts.
