Even though the applications seem to run smoothly on the backend, there
is no text displayed whatsoever. No text on buttons, no text in drop
downs, no text anywhere, period. This problem exists across all
programs being run and even affects winecfg. Both the latest corefonts
and fontforge packages are installed. I am assuming that this is some
sort of configuration misunderstanding, possibly resulting from a
previous installation. Yes I ran make uninstall and then reinstalled,
to no avail. I have tried both the manual approach and the
tools/wineinstall method, same results. Any ideas?

What wine version are you using?
Did you check the output during './configure', 'make depend' and 'make'?
Did you 'rm -fr ~/.wine'?
What version of fontforge exactly do you have installed?

wine 0.9.15
fontforge-20050502 (cvs from may 5 2005)
.wine has been removed and recreated multiple times
What exactly did I need to check the output of those for? Anything to
look for?

Updated fontforge to the latest, did not help.

Just to be sure that we are using the same definition of latest:
You have 20060703 installed now?
The output of 'make depend' and 'make' should be checked for any lines
that contain '***' (literally, not a regular expression).
Check the output of './configure' should be checked for any line of the
form
checking for foo ... no
You will have several of those, most are harmless; anything related to
'freetype' and 'fontforge' however must say yes.
