[Wine] cannot read words on any wine screen

[extra]

im using the most recent version of ubuntu and i wanted to run WOW but i have been unable to even configure it due to a lack of text on the configure screen. when i change tabs there is a sudden flash of jumbled texts that immediately subsides. and i am using nvdia drivers for my graphics card.
here is what it looks like (title bar got cut off)
