[Wine] squares instead of font characters since wine-0.9.13
do you know why when running wine-0.9.13 and all later versions of wine, finale displays squares instead of font characters and when running wine 0.9.12 everything displays ok? I have checked with wine versions that I have compiled from source on mandrake 10.0. The wine directory was left without any changes. thanks Piotr -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[Wine] squares instead of font characters since wine-0.9.13
Hi Piotr, I had font-problems since version 0.9.9 (the system-font showed up in ugly "Courier"-style only). After months of googling and finding no help at all on the wine-lists, faqs, docs, etc., late last night I finally solved it by copying all files from an original XP's c:\Windows\Fonts to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/ (TTF didn't previously exist). (Finally found it here: http://mandrivausers.org/lofiversion/index.php/t30766.html) I can't understand why the wine developers don't care at all about fonts. Wine looks so damn wracked and broken without proper fonts that this would even be an argument for not recommending the use of any commercial "Xover-office" solution... Aren't there people trying to fill their stomach with that commercial branch of wine?

Thanks for your reply, Do you know how to compile wine against custom freetype directory? I have installed all available freetype and fontforge rpm for mandrake 10.0 and then compiled latest wine version, but the problem is still there. My guess is that to build it properly, I need to have more recent freetype and fontforge packages.

Run configure with the verbose option turned on, as in: ./configure --verbose and reply with any warnings you get about missing packages (they show up at the end). P.S. Please bottom post, as it makes reading the conversation easier and more natural. -- James Hawkins
