Wine fonts

[bryncoles]

Hi all. I'm trying to install wine, as I sudden;y need some windows-only software. Alas, wine needs some configuring. The fonts come out looking like this: (I hope the picture is attached).

What can I do?

if not already done, add this ppa to synaptic repo tab:

https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ppa

update and then into a terminal run: winetricks to add the missing fonts files

if you have the needed fonts from windows, you can also copy/paste them into .wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts

note: next time use the "wine" subforum for related issue

Basically what dino99 said. Make sure to have the latest version of winehq.

Cheers for that! The fonts are now readable, but they're a little small. Any idea how I can fix the size issue?

Also, sorry for posting in the wrong forum. I'll report myself and get moved!

about the font size you might tweak the properies of your app ( sometime you can do it with the keys: ctrl + and ctrl - )
