I am trying to make wine run with a couple of windows applications and there is no way I can get normal fonts. All I get is little squares instead. I have set up a directory /home/username/.wine/fake_windows/Fonts that has quite a few .ttf files that I got from my Windows98 partition. I have also set up chkfontpath to the right path (please see attached files). Then what can be wrong? I can not figure it out ? Any help would be much appreciatted.

Then the fonts would go in /home/username/.wine/fake_windows/windows/Fonts

Desperate: problems with fonts, I can not make it work

In my case it was caused by some TrueType fonts that are parts of the Mandrake distribution. I simply tried to remove various directories from my font path (binary search was of course a useful approach) until I got the correct characters. Debugging the fonts info my also give you some useful, albeit a lot, information. It is something along the lines of -debug +fonts---check the manual for the exact syntax. /Peter -- http://www.linearity.org/turtle/contact.html ``If we're an arrogant nation, they'll resent us.
