Font problem with AMD64 Debian Etch

Hi,

I installed AMD64 Debian Etch on a new machine, and while SL runs just fine on it, some of the dialog boxes (such as file upload or snapshot save) display with only blank boxes where the text should be:



Is that an inherent problem with running SL under 64-bit Linux, or is there something I can do to fix that?

Thanks,
Johanna

I have a fix for this internally, which I expect to be in the next release (but probably not today's release).

If you do have this problem with other 32-bit applications under amd64, this wrapper fixes it up.
