I go this glitch where there's no text whatsoever in the game I'm running it off wineskin on a Mac (I know Mac sucks)
OK. I figured it out thanks to a tip for running another game.
Apparently, the game is looking for some particular Windows Fonts for the text, and we need to add them to WINE.

, extract it and put it in the "[prefix_path]/drive_c/windows/Fonts" directory. This is a copy of a Windows 7 font directory. The prefix path is basically wherever WINE looks for its configuration and files, in essence where it puts its C: drive. For Linux, by default it is $HOME/.wine
This helped me out for the same problem in another game too. Hope it helps you too.
