I installed playonlinux via apt, and then the standard Steam install via playonlinux. Steam itself runs OK, and it seems to have installed Planetbase correctly; the game starts; I have full audio and graphics, but some text does not render at all.
I had the exact symptoms with bare Wine, and I read elsewhere that this game's text rendering issue can be fixed by going through playonlinux instead, but no such luck. I observed that POL did download and install the Microsoft fonts.
Any ideas?
