Hi Yuri, I just tried with a clean wine prefix with python-2.7.3.msi and everything works as expected. Given that the fonts are also broken it may be your prefix or installation is somehow broken. You could try: # env WINEPREFIX=/tmp/python wine msiexec /i ~/python-2.6.msi to check if it is your prefix that is broken. Failing that try reinstalling the wine package (and check the checksum). Good luck, Regards, David
