Tales of Monkey Island: Chapter 1 - Launch of the Screaming Narwhal

What works

Installation works fine.  Games seems to work except for text/font isn't readable.

What does not

Text in game and in menus either appears garbled or doesn't appear at all, due to this bug:

To get the launcher working if it doesn't load for you: 1) Use winetricks to install IE7 (NOT 8). 2) After installing IE7, install and launch the game. 3) On the launcher, there will be a small box to enter your serial number. Paste it into the box and hit enter. After a few seconds, a lot of error popups will appear. Wait a little longer and the serial number input will change into a link to start the game. Kill the popups with "wineserver -k" and load the launcher again to start the game. 4) This step is completely optional, but if you want to do it anyways you may. Use winetricks to install "msxml3", and then the launchers will have graphics and animations. You will get ActiveX and "script error" popups from IE; click "yes" for the ActiveX ones and "no" for the script ones. Click the button on the bottom-right and enter your serial number.
