Just to let you know, that it works mostly fine. I'm getting occasional bugs / crashes, but you never know whether that's not just MWS...

OS: crunchbang linux / debian squeeze based
wine-1.1.42

I think I installed the mscorefonts via winetricks (can't exactly remember though)

card images and text are all fine.

Just wanted to put up my recent experience with Linux/MWS. I had some issues running mws in Fedora 17, wine version 1.5.13. Main issue was that most of the graphical display didn't update except after moving to a different phase, or min/maxing the screen size. Also, the scroll bar on the event log didn't stay at the bottom, so I didn't always see the most recent events. I got a tip from winehq about downloading winetricks and using the command

winetricks gdiplus

And that seems to have solved all my problems. Runs smoothly and actually I think it crashes less than when I boot up in Windows. The only outstanding issue (after installing fonts) is the dice roll, which I haven't found a clean solution yet. In my search, though, I came across a workaround. If you change the number of sides on the dice, say to 19 and then back up to 20, it rolls correctly.

sh winetricks corefonts
sh winetricks gdiplus
sh winetricks allfonts

to fix dice roll issue : adjust dice side down or up and then back to 20

slight amount of lag but other then that all good
