Unreadable fonts in Wine

Since I got the new 0.9.11, Wine has acting weird. When I tried to run IE it would freeze after some minuts. I tried to fix that by reinstalling sidenet-config and deleting .wine. But now, my fonts are all screwed up!

Ass You can see my fonts are all weird. And as you hopefully can see, root have the same problem.

What might be wrong?

Oh yea, I've had a similar issue with english words represented using arab glyphs. All I've done was load a custom theme saved from some windows configuration with Arial set as the font. All went back to normal.

Re: Unreadable fonts in Wine

search for a verdana.ttf on your system or any other font that might work for you and put it in ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts

worked for me

Also works with

[CarLost ~/.wine/drive_c/windows]# ln -s /usr/share/fonts/TTF/  ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts

Re: Unreadable fonts in Wine

or, more properly:

$ sudo ln -s /usr/share/fonts/TTF /usr/share/wine/fonts

Which should be in the PKGBUILD.
