LTPB Needs Font to Be Fully Functional in Linux

I was able to successfully install Learn to Play Bridge I and II in a WinXP bottle on the following machine:

Soyo SY-7ISA+ Intel i815 Motherboard
Intel Pentium III 866 MHz Processor
512 MB SDRAM
PNY Verto GeForce FX 5200 AGP 8x 256 MB DDR
Creative Labs Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 PCI Sound Card (SB0220)
Samsung CD-RW/DVD Drive Model: TS-H492A/RSWN
Dual Boot openSUSE Linux 10.3/Windows XP Pro SP3
CodeWeavers CrossOver Games for Linux Version 7.1.2

I installed both applications into the same bottle.

As noted in the WineHQ database, the applications need an additional font not provided by the Core Font download already available through CrossOver. Specifically, symbol.ttf is needed in order to display suits for cards described in the text of the lessons. If the font is not present, text containing card descriptions tends to "fall off" of the bottom of the screen and is either not completely visible or is invisible, and it is difficult or impossible to understand the point being made in the lesson in many instances. If the font is present, both programs appear to be completely functional.

Excellent tip! Perhaps you should consider signing up as an advocate for this application?
