Yes, that fixed the problem.  I figured it had to be some search variant 
I hadn't thought of (yes, it was on a mac, but not that particular OS). 
  Of course, I had to do the edits on my primary desktop machine, since 
running the "regetit" command from the terminal had the same problem of 
no fonts displaying <g>.  But once I did it once in the default bottle, 
I found the location in user.reg to add the settings for other bottles, 
so I can simply use vi from the remote terminal.


under "[Software\\Wine\\X11 Driver]":
add the 3 options
	"ClientSideAntiAliasWithCore"="N"
	"ClientSideAntiAliasWithRender"="N"
	"ClientSideWithRender"="N"

I know, you'd probably prefer people use the regedit tools, but this is 
another workaround.  (the same fix wrks for a current CVS build of Wine).
