I have successfully installed and launched Sibelius (music typesetting
software) on linux (with codeweavers preview 4, w/ a fake_windows install).
It works fairly well, and would probably deserve a 4 on the app database.
Except for the fonts, which kind of defies the purpose of a typesetting
software! Here are the symptoms and some log activities :
* No musical symbols are displayed (except the ones commonly found in
default charsets, e.g. treble/bass clefs, sharps...)
* Sibelius' standard font for notation is Opus (ttf), which registry
is 'microsoft-symbol'. I have installed Opus.ttf along with other
Sibelius-related fonts so that X can see them, and they are perfectly
displayed by xfd / xlsfonts / xfontsel
* I have tried aliases :
"Alias0" = "Opus,-macromedia-opus-*-*-*---*-*-*-*-*-*,subst"
to no avail
* Running Sibelius from my win98 partition with ms dlls gives the same
result
* And now the output of wine -debugmsg +fonts :
Invoking /opt/wine/bin/wine.bin -debugmsg +fonts sibelius ...
err:mmsys:MMDRV_InitHardcoded You didn't setup properly the config file for
the Wine multimedia modules.
Will use the hard-coded setup, but this will disapear soon.
Please add a WinMM section to your Wine config file.

... and so on, you get the idea
Is it that wine doesn't support other font encoding tables than the
iso-8859 charset? Or did I forget something? Even though you might not
know about this particular software (but it is not the only one to screw up
the fonts: I have tried demos of Finale, Noteworthy, Music Publisher,
Melody Assistant... with the same problem), someone might have run into a
similar issue with microsoft-symbol...
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated (actually, I could finally ditch my
Win partition!)
