Hi ! I run Wine 20050211 on RedHat 9. I would like run an application which use 4 specific fonts (.FON under windows). I read the manual (winehq.org/site/docs/wine-user/config-fonts-main) and follow the instructions. But it seems not working ... 1. I convert .fon files to .bdf and to .pcf. I moved the .pcf files to /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc. I'm not sure here to have correct files because I can't see them in the font manager or in a text editor ! but may be it's normal ? 2. I restart all my system 3. The manual says : Edit the ~/.wine/config file to remove aliases for the fonts you've just installed. On my system I don't have ~/.wine/config file for users but only one in /etc/wine/config. But that's not the problem. I can't find any aliases in my config file ! 4. I try to create an alias for my font but I'm not sure about the syntax : Alias0 = Omnis Monospace, -Omnis-Monospace- It doesn't change anything... If anyone could help me... Thanks a lot. Mika

Hello everyone, I tried to follow the gentoo-wiki (http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Install_and_update_World_Of_Warcraft_with_wine) on WoW, but it said nothing about my problem. When I attempt to run the installer, it is loaded with a message: "You need to be an admin user to install World of Warcraft". I tried to copy over the cdrom to my hard drive and ran it again with the same result. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Isaac
>I just copy my fonts into the [fake c >drive]/windows/fonts folder, and that's it! :)For that matter, if you have a dual-boot system, just symlink them. On my system, where I have C: mounted at /c, I just go to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts, then do "ln -s /c/windows/Fonts/*.ttf .", and "ln -s /c/windows/Fonts/*.fon ." This has the benefit for the legally-stringent folks out there to having the Windows fonts only "installed" under a legitimate copy of Windows (on the Win partition). Of course, such issues don't bother me anyway, but it *does* save on file space in your home directory.
Hi ! Thanks for your help, but it still not working... I copy .FON files to the fake windows/fonts folder but it doesn't change anything... I try to copy a .ttf file in this folder and my application use this font ! great but I would like to use my .fon font ! I didn't found any tools to convert .fon into .ttf file. Is there a way to choose the Resolution of fonts used in wine. In the manual I found the Resolution option but it doesn't change anything. The size used in my application is the same (too big !). Any ideas ? Thanks mika Mickael R wrote:> Hi ! > > I run Wine 20050211 on RedHat 9.
