    You may need to install additional fonts to get it to display the code in a nice way. That a few icons are upside down are a wine issue. (remember, you are running the windows version)



    The best way to contact me is by email, which you can find on my website: http://wizzup.org
    I also get email notifications of private messages, though.

    Install the fonts, then check again to see if that fixed it.

    PS in the Linux version doesn't work properly.

    I also get the black lines and I have the proper fonts.

    I never got the black lines but if you install msttcorefonts (I think that's what it is, really just sudo apt-get install mstt<tab> or something, but it should be msttcorefonts I think) it'll look a little nicer at least. Not 100%, possibly, as Harry has the lines, but it looked just fine for me.

    I'm installing ubu10.10 in a little so I'll see if it's anything a new simba has done.

    SMART works, but the Linux version does not have a proper interpreter. Thus, you cannot really compile/run scripts.

    I really don't know. Try using winetricks to install additional fonts.
