I could reproduce this Problem.
Deleting the ".wine" folder is a workaround but not a fix.

you need to add fonts under ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts

"2- Get some font files from a Windows box (windows/fonts/*.ttf) and copy them to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts (assuming you kept the default wine setttings). I guess you can get the fonts files from somewhere else, but this is the way I did it."

However, the problem becomes now, white numbers. The menu is readable but the notations are missing I have also copied the entire windows fonts folder to Program Files/Guitar Pro 5/fonts and ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts. It appears this makes no difference.

Wine has it's own included fonts now, and so shouldn't end up ever defaulting to installed fonts when it can't find a system font. If this is still a problem for you on Hardy, please update. Thanks.
