I backchecked that discussion and looked at your screenshot.  The font you
have displayed in the Messages window is EXACTLY the one that is now 
showing up for me.

Alternatively, the September build of Wine that is included in the 7.2 
release of Mandrake doesn't have this problem, but does have the crashing
on exit problem.  Between the two, I'll choose the font problem, as I can
still read the text, just with difficulty.

I haven't tried this yet (game hasn't progressed to a battle phase yet)
but maybe I'll try testbedding something with combat to see if the 
latest build still kills the Battle VCR.

Good luck with the attack.  If you run across something that sort of works, 
be sure to post it.  There are lots of Linux Stars! folks around ;).
