It doesn't look particularly chopped to me. Can you explain what you mean? The colours?
Or do you mean the "info bar" right at the bottom? |

Ah OK you mean the info bar, I see.
Try another font? Some of the Wine fonts don't render very well. |

| Download winetricks, as noted http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks
Then, open a terminal and cd to the downloads directory, or wherever you saved winetricks at.
chmod +x winetricks
Then, type sh ./winetricks
When the dialog pops up, check the marks corefonts,fontfix and tahoma fonts.Click ok, let it install and then restart wine. Close all apps, and logout/log back in should do the trick. |

| | I'm not an expert but that info bar definately isn't in english, that's Greek. Maybe that explains why it looks so crappy? | | Top |

| | An alternative to using the Info bar these days is to set up a small miniwindow and then you can put it where ever you want, make it whatever size you want, and so on. |

| | I would but I have no idea where the info bar is being fed this information. Plus it's Vb-script. I wonder if that may be the problem. Does wine have any problem reading Vb? | | Top |

| If it is doing anything other than giving an error message (and I count putting some sort of text in the bar as doing something), then VBscript is working OK.
Have you tried the suggestion of installing the Wine fonts? |

What plugin or script are you using? There may be an alternative these days that works better. |
