wine issue

i seem to be having a weird problem with wine. When i try running apps as a normal user all the text in the windows are missing. When i run the same app in wine as root it works fine. Here is a screenshot

Re: wine issue

I have the same issue with fonts too. I thought it was a one off application bug (Steam) but it seems not.

I havn't tried it, but a lot of people have been complaining on the mailing list about the latest version, maybe try downgrading?

Either way, a solution would be very much appreciated.

Re: wine issue

the weird thing is the fonts show up as root. I tried copying the .wine dir from root to a normal user and running wine but the fonts didn't show up then.

Re: wine issue

i did this cp /usr/share/fonts/TTF/* ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts/

Might be better to do

> cd ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts
> for FONTFILE in /usr/share/fonts/TTF/*; do ln -s $FONTFILE; done

??

Re: wine issue

Uff i had the same problem, and i tried with copyng the fonts to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts but the problem continues...

I have installe those fonts:

local/fontsproto 2.0.2-1
local/gsfonts 8.11-4
local/t1lib 5.1.0-2
local/ttf-bitstream-vera 1.10-5
local/ttf-ms-fonts 2.0-1
local/xf86bigfontproto 1.1.2-1
local/xorg-fonts-alias 1.0.1-1
local/xorg-fonts-encodings 1.0.0-2
local/xorg-fonts-misc 1.0.0-3

I tried with another user but i had the same result. Also i reinstalled wine (0.9.22) and the same stuff..

Somebody has some idea?

PD: The problem began when i simulated a windows's reboot (command wineboot)

Re: wine issue

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/windows
rm -rf fonts
ln -sf /usr/share/fonts/TTF fonts

This is what I do for fonts. Steam works with it, which is horribly picky about fonts with wine.

Re: wine issue

I tried doing this too, having recompiled wine today. There just is no fonts, even after symlinking.

Not even winecfg itself shows any fonts. what kind of rubbish is that?

What seems odd is that grayed-out buttons show font. fontforge is installed here.

This really gets me up angry.

Re: wine issue

Is this with the new Wine, version 0.9.23? Because I have been having issues with it too - no font trouble, but it crashes and hangs a lot more than the last version did. I wonder if there are some regressions in this version...
