Thanks for replying!
Unfortunately, i've tried altering the font in the options. Doesn't show fonts.
I suppose I should start from the beginning:
I used
Ruien's guide, twice (once with a consolidated 1.7 gig p99 directory and more recently with a fresh titanium install).

So, the error occurs from the EULA throughout the rest of the sign in process. Fonts show properly in the character select screen.
Interestingly, if I scroll down far enough in the fonts listing, all of them poof momentarily unless I re-open them:
I can momentarily flash some of the fonts (chat window and a few others) into existence with /fontface, but I still don't see chat text. They go away if I change tabs.
Also tried changing UIs as in the screenshots.
It's very likely something to do with wine/fonts/etc - i've toyed with winetricks and installing corefonts and such but i'm fairly stumped. I've perused a *ton* of EQ's ini files for clues. Will probably end up playing with an alternate monitor input from a cheap xp laptop or something :P
