Unable to see text on Unity 5 running through wine on ubuntu

Question

I installed unity 5 on my ubuntu desktop. But when i am running it, it is not coming like this i.e. no text is shown.

Answer 1

Seems like you don't have required MS fonts(also it uses IE8).

Try to install winetricks, and then running

winetricks tahoma corefonts ie8

There are is Unity3D-Wine-Support repository on GitHub(with almost same aproach) and pretty big Unity3d Wiki page about running editor on Linux(with several approaches) - you can check them out.

Answer 2

Unity 5 is working with Wine, even the store! And I didn't need to configure any extra files as with 4.6. At least for me... I guess you need to install the tahoma script as stated here:

(Tested @ Ubuntu 14.04, Wine 1.7.37 and PlayOnLinux 4.2.2)
