wine users - May 2003 - Desperate: problems with fonts, I can not make it work

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.

Thanks

Carlos

I'm assuming you have the directory 
/home/username/.wine/fake_windows/windows?
Then the fonts would go in
/home/username/.wine/fake_windows/windows/Fonts

I had a similar problem.  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.
