If you set up wine for "client side" rendering, then it does not use
xfs, there is no cache, and I think these problems might go away. RH7.3
has all the support, which basically is a very recent version of
libXrender, and you also need a current (post april) version of wine.
To get wine to use client side rendering, it just needs a directory
C:\windows\fonts with a bunch of TT fonts in it. I suspect there is a
way to tell wine to look at another directory, but I don't know what
that is. You can get these fonts from a real windows install. Or
download a bunch from here:
