I am using openSUSE 12.1, on a laptop and a desktop (see below for
system info).
I run a Tagalog-English dictionary from lingvosoft on my desktop. Runs
without a problem. Desktop wine is wine-1.4-2.12.1.x86_64
I tried to install lingvosoft dictionary on my laptop, new, just
installed openSUSE. Wine version is wine-1.5.8-176.1x86_64.
On the laptop version, the translated words in the 2nd pane are not
there. It is only blank. I don’t know if it is something with the fonts,
or libraries, or what, and I don’t know how to t/s to find out.
In both cases, the wine installed is from the wine repositories for
openSUSE.
Any ideas?

Ok, I tried setting fonts in the application, and I got an error which
caused the application to shut down. This is the error:
“The program has encountered a serious problem and needs to close. We
are sorry for the Inconvenience. This can be caused by a problem in the
program or a deficiency in Wine. You may want to check the application
database for tips about running the application.”
Sorry, forgot to add the code tags. Here it is with code tags.

That was it, thanks! When I went back to 1.4 and then opened the
application, it said it needed to download a “gecko” thing of some sort
in order to display characters in applications that use html for their
display. So I downloaded it and after that the application worked like
it was supposed to.
When you sa a “regression in Wine”, what exactly do you mean?
From what grgisn said about gecko, it’s not a regression. It sounds like he didn’t have the wine-gecko package installed, or possibly had too old a version for 1.5.8.
