wine users - Sep 2005 - weine & baan erp windows client

hi,

i've setup wine with winetools and installed the baan cleint for windows. at
a first sight every thing seems to work. a closer look showed a font
problem. when you look at the atatched jpg's you can see, that the numbers
do not fit the entry field. compare linux.jpg and windows.jpg. i'm not
shure if this is a font problem or some thing else. sadly this is a
killerapplication for the migration of about 400 destops to linux. perhaps
some one can give me a hint.

TIA

20050310 (ubuntu) and i've also tried crossover office and both show exactly
the same behaviour.

i've not yet tried to build a snapshot.

AFAIK there are no pbulic pages.

ask baan i fear. BUT: you also need a baan server to connect to in order to 
reproduce the problem. i fear this is no option.

yes, and i will ask them too ...


an other question: the baan clinet seems to use the fixedsys font with 
windows. by now i've found no way to use this font with wine. is ther a 
solution for this. read many things about fonts with out any success.


TIA
