            Bug ID: 35916
           Summary: -no-dwrite:  Disabling dwrite does NOT solve my
                    missing text problem.
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.6.2
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org
          Reporter: tcm.schlacten at gmail.com

When trying to use Steam in Wine, there was no text, making the program
impossible to use.  I googled this and found that disabling dwrite fixes the
problem.  The only thing is, it didn't actually fix anything.  I started Steam
with Wine using -no-dwrite and there was still no text.  I then entered regedit
with Wine and created DWriteEnable, setting it to 0.  This didn't help either,
Steam still had no text.  Please tell me whether there's anything I can do, as
this is the only solution I've found, and it doesn't work for me.  Should I
reinstall Steam using -no-dwrite?  Anyway, this is highly irritating, I expect
Wine to be able to run the few Windows programs I need properly, otherwise I'm
ditching GNU/Linux all together, or finding out whether there's any alternative
to Wine.  My hopes aren't high for the latter.  If this is unsolvable, I'm
extremely disappointed with Wine.
