Seems like you don't have required MS fonts(also it uses IE8).

Try to install winetricks, and then running

winetricks tahoma corefonts ie8

There are is Unity3D-Wine-Support repository on GitHub(with almost same aproach) and pretty big Unity3d Wiki page about running editor on Linux(with several approaches) - you can check them out.

  • This didn't work for me (on mint) but this was a problem for the 4.x versions of Unity and so may well be a problem for others (and indeed the problem this user is seeing). Nice links. – demented hedgehog Mar 16 '15 at 10:25
  • For the record, with wine-staging 5.0rc1, the Unity game I was having font trouble with started working properly after installing `corefonts`, then `tahoma`, but not yet installing `ie8`. (No clue whether it needed both or just `tahoma`.) – ssokolow Dec 16 '19 at 02:07

Unity 5 is working with Wine, even the store! And I didn't need to configure any extra files as with 4.6. At least for me... I guess you need to install the tahoma script as stated here:

(Tested @ Ubuntu 14.04, Wine 1.7.37 and PlayOnLinux 4.2.2)

I think that upgrading to the latest wine solved this problem for me. Unity 5.0.1f1 + wine 1.7.38 is working for me now.

There are still some other problems that have work arounds described on other wine+unity threads that you will have to deal with (I needed to force strict redraw order, install the right versions of mono, and possibly fonts etc, I can't recall but there are well known solutions to those problems).

You may have to copy and paste your fonts into another folder. I encountered this problem while running Fruity Loops on wine in Ubuntu. Copying the font files fixed the problem. I'm sorry, at the moment I can't recall which folder I copied to (it may have been a wine config folder, or somewhere in the Land of Program Files) but I'll try to follow up later.

Unity is not compatible with Wine. Neither are designer programs like MobiOne and GameMaker 6 +

  • MobiOne have bugs on Wine, yes. But GameMaker [works totally fine on Wine](https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=2965) by default and without any tricks. – rufanov Mar 09 '15 at 03:11
  • @rufanov It's image based - Mobione. And it was made in Visual Studio or something along those lines – mas0701 Mar 10 '15 at 20:59
  • Unity 4.6 was compatible with wine and I'm assuming that Unity 5 is also though I to am having this font problem. It's not unusual for new wine installs. – demented hedgehog Mar 16 '15 at 08:30
