Missing symbols: Spades, Hearts, Diamonds and Clubs

["Thomas H. George" <lists@tomgeorge.info>]

I have some old win95 bridge programs I want to use.  Wine installs, 
loads and runs them perfectly except a box shape appears wherever a 
symbol for spades, hearts, diamonds or clubs should appear.  I have 
tried using xfontsel to change the font the program in using without 
success.  It does not appear to change the font even in the terminal 
window.  I could use the programs if they would display any distinctly 
different symbols for the card suits but at present I get the same box 
shape for every suit symbol.

Does anyone have a clue as to how I can get distinctive symbols?
