Console output from installing and then launching Soundslides

A Ubuntu 8.04 user posted a message on the forum that Soundslides Plus in Wine
was not displaying some of the text that would normally be displayed in
Windows. She posted screenshots of how it appeared on her computer in both Wine
and Windows.
(http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=1771&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0) 

I downloaded the demo and found that the text did not appear on my system
either; a third forum user also confirmed that they saw the problem, too. One
person,  however, tested the demo and did not experience this problem. There
was some discussion as to what differences between our systems might be the
cause, but no clear pattern emerged.  

The original poster contacted the program's developer, who noted in his reply
that "All of the missing text is rendered via the same font (coded as "_sans"
which should target to your default sans-serif system font)." The developer
thought the problem might be missing MS core fonts, however, both the original
poster and I already had the core fonts on our systems, and copying them to
Wine's windows/fonts directory did not solve the problem.

I am uploading my console output from installing the program and then launching
it, along with a screenshot of what should be the EULA during the install.
