In my attempts to get Fractal Mapper (http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iAppId=3117) to work I am a bit confused about the behaviour of text and fonts. The application's documentation says you should be able to use any TrueType fonts. I see a menu with the fonts I have on the system. If I select one of them and enter some text I see the text as I enter it, but when I finish it disappears.

Hi Does anybody know whether wine works with USB ports or not ? The reason I ask is that I'm trying to get the application TDK CD/DVD Printer Labeller Software running, the software appears to work except for the fact it complains that "The printer is turned off or not connected to the computer". http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iAppId=3751 Is there some other layer of

This Application is mis-spelled in the AppDB. http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iAppId=217 It should be named "Convert" It works well except that it's default is to stack tabs and this needs to be turned off in the options. I can email a screenshot to anybody interested. It works in Crossover 6.0.1 but has the same cosmedic problem. Ubuntu 7.10 i386 -Joe Baker

Hi, I've been successfully using Geogrid viewer version 3.2 with wine 0.9.9 and a hack to let the CoRegisterPSClsid() stub return S_OK on Suse 9.3. However, after an upgrade to Suse 10.1 the application failed to open the main window. 0.9.10 showed the same behaviour. Later versions of wine (I tried 0.9.11 onwards to current cvs) open the main window again, however when I try to scroll

According to the appdb (http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iAppId=1918), Warhammer 40k should work almost flawlessy, however I am unable to even get the game to run. I'n installed the game on a Windows laptop (that's not up to running the game) and copied that across. When I try and run it, the game either complains that there is no cd in the drive, or that I must insert the origional

Hello I'm new to wine-users. I'had often used wine with known-working apps, but now I try to launch Future Pinball (a pinball simulation), see http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iAppId=4596. As it's not work, I search docs on how to debug an app. My first try is to check that all dll requierd is present in wine (or I'll try to add them): I've profiling it on windows xp with

Hello. I'm new to this list. After days of reading docs and googling I can say that a lot of people is trying to use wine with serial ports, but no success story found? My problem is just like in bug1244 <http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1244> which is almost 4 years old. If I run this app <http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iAppId=4165> with WINEDEBUG=+relay , I

The Internet Chess Club, launched a new chess interface in August. Besides being a terrific client for connecting and playing chess on ICC, it has a built-in chess engine with 14 personalities from beginner to GM's that you can play off-line. You can also add-in other chess engines. If you try it, I'm sure you'll agree it is one of the best chess clients available. It is now at

If you do much business on the Internet, as I do, you probably use a password manager to manage dozens or even hundreds of passwords. And if you are often switching between Windows and Unix like me, you may have the same problem. I had a devil of a time keeping my password databases synced in the two different worlds. Enter Password Safe for Windows. And thanks to Wine, for Unix' boxen

Hello, I'm using fink unstable (from CVS) on an Intel Mac. An application (http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iAppId=3042) which worked OK on linux (when I still had it) and which worked OK until I updated the wine with fink, fails to work now, but is pretty important for me. This shows me:

Hello! I'm not sure if I should have posted this to wine-devel or add bug in Bugzilla, so I'm posting this here.

Tony, et. all, Hi. Happy Holidays. I'm still struggling along with getting Wine to really run on an important audio machine.

Hi list, Trying to set custom paramters for a wine-program as wcmd for example doesn't work for me. I tried setting [AppDefaults\\wcmd.exe.so\\x11drv] "Desktop"= "N" and [AppDefaults\\wcmd.exe\\x11drv] "Desktop"= "N" when global is "Desktop"="640x480". wcmd is displayed on a 640x480 desktop. Is there a workaround ?

I'm trying to run a program called GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife) under Wine. Most of it runs, however, as part of its normal operation it creates a batch file, BABEL.BAT, to communicate with a GPS using GPSBabel. I've run GPSBabel by itself under wine and it works. I've run the batchfile by hand and *THAT* works (under wcmd). However, I've since discovered that when GSAK

Below is a crash I get on my gentoo box when I execute the set command in wcmd.

Hi, I'm trying to run a DOS program within a cron job. After much trial-and-error I settled on the following approach: - rm -r ~/.wine - call wine without any arguments, this lets wine generate a default configuration in ~/.wine - change ~/.wine/config: set GraphicsDriver to ttydrv instead of x11drv - the cron job consists of a shell script that runs the DOS program with "wcmd

You probably know this already, but the following notice appeared to bugtraq. As a side note the protocol on bugtraq seems to be designed to make a fix available before the announcement by providing one yourself or giving the maintainer a week's advance warning (M$ gets a lot longer warning and *still* fails to fix the bugs before bugtraq knows). Having said that M$ insists on allowing me
