Hey there,
Whenever I install Wine and go to winecfg, i get the configuration window, but all of the words are gone. I've uninstalled and re-installed many times and the problem still persists. How should i fix this? I'll attach a screen shot.

Here's two different posts :

suggesting that installing the msttcorefonts package would help.
You have however the ttf-liberation package installed already.
But feel free to try this suggestion though.
Bump
Which version of wine are you using? And where did you get it?
You could try deleting the wine config folder.
and then, running again the winecfg command and post the output here.Code:rm -R ~/.wine
Just... enjoy life!
If you have a GeForce 2 through 6 video card, then it is actually a problem with the legacy Nvidia drivers. It can be fixed by altering a reg entry in Wine:

I know I'm using an old nvidia card, however this did not work for me. There is a chance that my card might be older than that though... How should I check? And thanks a lot for the post!
Well, I ran your command, then winecfg to no avail Here's the output
When it had finished it popped open a blank wine cfg window just like I've been dealing with all this time.Code:izzy@izzy:~$ rm -R ~/.wine izzy@izzy:~$ winecfg wine: created the configuration directory '/home/izzy/.wine' fixme:system:SetProcessDPIAware stub! fixme:iphlpapi:NotifyAddrChange (Handle 0x7ce489f8, overlapped 0x7ce489dc): stub fixme:shell:DllCanUnloadNow stub wine: configuration in '/home/izzy/.wine' has been updated. X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). izzy@izzy:~$
I'm assuming the last line "X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown)." has to do with me using force quit on the window, as it wasn't very responsive. Thanks a lot for the help! Any more ideas?
