Successfully installed Battlefield Vietnam at the second attempt, the first failing because I was camped on the CD drive with the terminal screen, preventing the first CD from being unloaded ... Ho hum! However, the screen text display is terrible ... but this was the case on XP until I loaded the right fonts that BV was expecting ... but I cannot remember which fonts, and I no longer install a font that I am not knowingly using, so bulk installation of fonts is out. Does anyone know which font(s) BV / EA Games are expecting to use (my son has other EA games that we intend to try on Wine)?

Hi nadrach, I have a tip to find out what are the font you need for your application : Just copy the entire fonts folder from a real windows installation into your .wine/c_drive/windows/fonts folder. Then run your application with wine (it should have a correct display because you're using windows font files). Then in a shell type : $ lsof > result.txt Now you should have a "result.txt" in your personal folder. Open it and search for each line that contain "fonts", especialy those where the path is in wine's directory. You'll see all the files currently in use, so you'll find the font files you're looking for [Wink]
sh winetricks allfonts fails. First failure is with Tahoma.ttf, which a command tries to copy to directory "../windows/Fonts" instead of "../windows/fonts". I fixed this by renaming the directory, but then a download of "liberation-fonts.tar.gz" from www.redhat.com fails because of "sha1sum mismatch!" Any suggestions welcome.

That font problem was fixed a week or two ago...
