I've just tested again with wine 1.4 on OpenSuSE 12.2, and the issue is still
same: it doesnt work by default, but it does work with the right font. As I
said before it is a pure font issue, and the fact that the Linux distros change
their shipping fonts every now and then shows that my recommendation to Wine
for shipping your own font still stands. Now with OpenSuSE 12.2 there's no
longer the Andale Mono, but DejaVu Sans Mono still is available and works then
fine. Find attached the screenshots, and also the error message displayed in
the console at start of wineconsole that the font is invalid.
I'd say we can close the bug since its more a distro problem than a problem
with Wine itself; however you can avoid this trouble for the average user if
you ship your own font which is well-known to work with textconsole-based
programs; perhaps DejaVu Sans Mono is well suited for this due to its free
licence.
Will close the bug.
