Hi, i've downloaded the latest wine release and the other packages necessary (fontforge, cabextract) but after the installation was fine i tried to run winecfg ... i see a window with a few tabs but i see no text at all! I tried to copy some fonts from ie4linux into my /home/use/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts directory but nothing changed. Does someone know where i can get some error output (because a $ find / -name "wine*log" shows no file), and how to see text ?? i've searched also in the user mailling list but found nothing that can help me. I'm using Fedora Core 3 (linux 2.6.9-1.667) with Wine (0.9.17) and FontForge(20060703). The cpu i an athlon xp 2500. I hope someone here can help me out here, so i can finaly delete my windows version from my hd =). best regards, truppe steven

You need to use WINEDEBUG="foo" (see "man wine") to get more debug information. In your case, I think the correct debug channel is called "font". Daniel
Have a look in ~/.wine/dosdevices. You should see a link to a directory called c: Make sure that the link points to the same place as you believe the fake windows root directory is.
