I'm running Ubuntu and after updating to the latest Wine, 1.1.5, my MWS is working perfectly with only one noticeable flaw: I can't see any text in MWS Play. I don't mean the card text, I'm talking about the text in MWS play itself, creature names, P/T numbers, counters, notes, mana pool/deck/graveyard/hand/RFG/life total numbers. I can, strictly speaking, play with it like this but it takes a lot of mental calculation to remember what everyone's life totals are at as well as every creature's Power and Toughness are. If I were to play a milling deck I'd have no sweet clue as to the gamestate without counting the cards in my graveyard window manually. All the other issues such as upside down cards, etc were fixed when I upgraded wine except this. Does anyone know how to fix it?

This is currently an open issue, it is know that mws can work perfectly on ubunto but I think a package needs to be installed. Unfortunately I have no idea which one atm.. we are looking into it though.

Also I have no Ubunto installed here so can not really test anything either and no box free either

I agree NecroMage. After updating wine 1.1.5 upside down cards and text are now fixed, you can read them at all the lists (gy, rfg, view hand ,...).
Now the problem is exactly the one that NecroMage said.

Is the solution near? Perhaps wine 1.1.6? :S
If u find the "secret" package needed to be installed, please tell us.
Or if u have some ideas, tell us to test them in our ubuntus.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH !

After installing ubuntu-restricted-extras i can read the names of the cards in play, i can see the p/t, the counters ,... (i suppose that installing this package some windows fonts that are needed for MWS are installed)
I have installed wine 1.1.6. too and ALL works perfectly now.
Thanks again.

After reading this forum I have to thank Azania very much for all the hard work he's put in helping Magic-league support mws and Linux users. So Thank You Azania I appreciated everything you've done.
