wine users - Jan 2008 - unimplemented function gdiplus.dll.GdipGetGenericFontFamilySansSerif

I'm trying to install My Siruis Studio (to access a Sirius satellite  
radio) with Wine 0.9.52 on in Intel iMac running OS X 10.5.1.  This  
application requires MS .NET Framework 1.1, so I tried installing Mono  
1.26 instead.  This allowed the My Siruis Studio installation to  
complete, but an attempt to run My Siruis Studio fails immediately with:

Call from 0x7b830330 to unimplemented function  
gdiplus.dll.GdipGetGenericFontFamilySansSerif, aborting
err:seh:setup_exception stack overflow 0 bytes in thread 000b eip  
7bc35267 esp 00411000 stack 0x411000-0x620000

Googling gdiplus.dll.GdipGetGenericFontFamilySansSerif produces no  
hits, nor does a search of the Wine bugs.

Does this error message suggest any obvious things to try next, or  
does it mean that this is hopeless, and I should give up with this  
version of Wine?

I tried getting gdiplus.dll from
http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?gdiplus
, and putting in the My Sirius Studio program directory, then setting  
an override on gdiplus to Native.  Now I get the following error when  
I attempt to launch the program:

% wine My\ Sirius\ Studio.exe
fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x61e3f0,0x00000000), stub!

===========I checked the graphics settings in winecfg, and no theme is selected.
Any ideas on what to try next?  It seems to really want a font, but  
I'm sure which font it wants, or where to put it, or how to override  
its search for a GenericFontFamilySansSerif.

	What you should do is to file a bug report at http://bugs.winehq.org .

As L. Rahyen stated, file a bug on this error,.  However, please do not
file a bug when you install the native .dll. There is not much the Wine
project can do for Windows code bugs.
