-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi ! I am trying to install an old windows95 app from a floppy disk, but it fails with a truetype error. System: Kubuntu 10.5 386 or k7 kernel Wine installed via adept I insert the floppy with the install.exe on it, and execute it with wine. It starts the installer, installs some files but then the installer complains about being unable to install the custom truetype font. The installer aborts, but the program had nevertheless already been copied to c/programs so I tried starting it, but it complained about not finding the font. I have then dropped the TTF file of the font into the .wine/windows/fonts folder to no avail. Any ideas anyone ?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hmm, running wine in console yields:> beka@beka-kubuntu:/media/floppy$ wine install.exe > fixme:font:CreateScalableFontResourceA (0,"c: > \\windows\\system\\capella.fot","c: > \\windows\\system\\capella.ttf",(null)): stub > beka@beka-kubuntu:/media/floppy$ wine --version > Wine 20050725 > beka@beka-kubuntu:/media/floppy$I googled a bit about the CreateScalableFontResourceA error, but the latest messages about this are from 2001 ? Any more help appreciated.
