Since my last post I've try Ubuntu 11.04 but there were the same black background problem. On my notebook (ASUS K50IJ) only with Ubuntu 10.04 works well. I think too, that this is because of the Intel graphics driver... but I can't change that, so I use Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.... Only for informing You.

Best wishes: Attila

Hello wine-users

I had the same problem with the following setup:

wine: 1.3.28
OS: Ubuntu 11.04
Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller

It seems really, that the graphics card driver cause the problem. I found the solution on the link below:

Just do
Code:

> sudo apt-add-repository ppa:smorar/bugfixes
> sudo apt-get update
> sudo apt-get upgrade

Logout and login to restart the xserver and Voila!


Perhaps, somebody else would be happy with this tip.
Greetings, Christof

Would you by any chance still know which font the LSJ index wants? Runnung Ubuntu 19.04, and only seeing squares instead of letters in the LSJ index.
It would be nice if the module info mentioned the font needed.

Oh wait - I found the solution here: http://www.theword.net/forum/viewtopic. ... w=previous
(Only I had to edit dutch.lng instead of english.lng.)
