wine users - Feb 2011 - windows/fonts files interference (bug?)

Hello.

I'm running wine-1.3.12 on Fedora 14 and I found out that, since the last
update, wine has issues when additional .ttf files are put in windows/fonts
directory - wine picks them as a default font for GUI rendering. I tried putting
in/out several different ttf files, and the results were mixed. Sometimes the
font was picked. Sometimes ignored. And sometimes it caused wine to miss the
built-in tahoma font, so GUI rendered in Lucida Console.

For me, this is quite an issue because I run Guitar Pro 5, which installs a
'Guitar Pro 5.ttf' font. The result is all my panels having musical
notes instead of text, which isn't terribly usable  [Laughing]

My question is: is it a bug or is there something I missed? Anyone else
experienced this?

Thx for any info.

That's actually pretty old behavior. I haven't seen it myself in a
couple of years, but I have msttfcorefonts installed on my system.

Have you tried winetricks allfonts?
