I get that, even with a package that I'm working with.  That is because the dynamic library path has to be set to point to the location where the Freetype libraries are located.

However, I've seen where fuctionality provided by the Richedit program that is lacking in Wine has caused the inability to put information into Text fields.

Has anyone recommended using winetricks riched20 or winetricks riched30 and then trying to run your program again?
