Tony,
   Thanks for the ideas. I tried to run wcmd, and got the same failure!

[mark at Godzilla mark]$ wcmd
err:wineconsole:WINECON_Fatal Couldn't find a decent font, aborting

[mark at Godzilla mark]$


Possibly my machine does have a good font set for running Wine at all?
I'll bet there's some minimum set that I'm missing. I've tried to keep
things to a minimum, and I think that adding fonts is more than I'm up
for this evening. I'm off to bed in a few hours, and then traveling for
Christmas for the rest of the week. I'll get to that next weekend when I
get back.

Thanks for all your help. It's been like an early Christmas present.
Best wishes to you, your family and everyone else around here. I'll
check back in next Saturday when I return.

Cheers,
Mark
