I just installed Quicken 2001 using the 0914 version of Wine built from source code on my Fedora Core 2 machine. I followed the Quicken install instruction #2 on Franks Corner site. The installation went fine and everything seems to work well. But some of the fonts are unreadable. Here is a screen shot of what I am referring to (the problem fonts are circled): http://onlymooo.com/Screenshot.png I added the VGASYS.FON, SSERIFE.FON, and SERIFE.FON fonts as described in http://winehq.org/site/docs/wine-user/config-fonts-main with no difference. Please suggest what I can do to make things better.
I've taken a look at that screenshot, and although the font is very very small, I can still read the text of the small font.

Instead, try copying over all the .ttf files from a Windows installation to Wine. Wine does support TrueType fonts. The current version of Wine has a few built in replacements for fonts, and perhaps these are too small (it seems like there have been several complaints lately). But if external TrueType fonts are found, Wine should use those.

Very slim chance, but maybe the problem is somehow created because of the database itself? I doubt this will change anything but you might try it.

In setting up a new .qdf in order to test your hypothisis, I discovered that Quicken is having trouble load IE. Before installing Quicken I had installed IE. It took a little doing, but I got it loaded and running well. I start it by merely running "wine IEXPLORE.EXE". Seems to work well. But just now, in setting up a new .qdf, and specifically the "Online" section, Quicken insists on doing something that takes it out to the web, I guess. At the bottom of the screen is a notice "Starting Browser..." or some such thing. But it never starts. I also attempted to Register this copy of Quicken. The initial registration screen appears but hitting the "Continue" button make it disappear with no further action. I suspect this is also web related. So not only do I have a minor font problem but I now seem to have a larger IE problem. arrrrrrgh...
