Ok, seems you're right with the symbol font. I only described the symptoms, not the causes. So I did the following steps: 1) installing 0.9.52 from debian; leads to the char garbage attached to last mail 2) replacing "/usr/share/wine/fonts/marlett.ttf" with one that was generated by older fontforge (but still a symbol font by looking at KFontView); leads to the correct appearance Attached is a correct snapshot (the area inside the red box is relevant), unfortunately I can't provide you a testcase (I'll look around a bit whether I find one). I don't have any real clue why this happens; maybe newer fontforge creates wrong meta info or the font from older fontforge is somehow discarded, I don't know :/ Christoph
