Hi all,

I want to run my favorit game neocron under linux, all works nice the game
comes up etc. But the problem is i cant logon because this Game use his
own fonts located in his own font-directory. So i cant type or do any
action :/

Afaik wine does not support TrueType Rendering, is there a way to replace
the truetype fonts with fonts that are readable by wine or somewhat?

Also i tryed to convert the fonts to afm and/or to install a TrueType
Fontserver for X. But the Game only take the fonts from his own directory
.

Any solution?


Thanks in Advance

Hi,

which Wine version have you got? Wine supports True-Type native using
FreeType2 for a really long time now. You should just copy the font files
into your C:\Windows\Fonts directory and all should be set up. (Copy the
standard windows fonts there too. If you haven't got them:
http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/)
Do not try to convert the .ttf files into .afm or anything else. Just copy
them over to C:\windows\fonts.

Good luck,
Philipp
