As I said eralier I tried the same packages some months ago and everything worked fine. So I just tested all the packgaes until i found the "working" one. To clarify before I start: wine works fine but the "wineconsole cmd" throws the error about the missing font. This is what I did: I tested this on the f13-kde_livecd.x86_64 1. Install wine-core.i686, wine-wow.i686, wine-fonts, wine-common. 2. start wineconsole cmd WITHOUT starting winecfg before it 3. the error occurrs. 4. The only "working" package is 1.2.0-0.6.rc6. After installing it and going through the steps 1-3 wineconsole shows that it's "Building font metrics". After it has finished I can upgrade to the latest 1.3.1-1 and it works just fine. if I delete the .wine directory AFTER the installation of 1.2.0-0.6.rc6 then the error occurs again and I have to go back to the rc6 in order to enumerate the fonts. This makes me believe that this font-enumeration writes something to the .wine directory that's being used by the later versions. after installing and starting the rc6 all other versions work fine, until I delete the wine directory. The change log for the rc7 packages says: * Sun Jul 11 2010 Andreas Bierfert <andreas.bierfert[AT]lowlatency.de> - 1.2-0.7.rc7 - version upgrade - make sure font packages include the license file in case they are installed standalone I assume that the latest patch somehow assumes that if the fonts have already been installed (separately) then it doesn't need to enumerate all of them. As a result of this it doesn't write the "necessary" information in the wine directory which cause wineconsole to throw the error message. I hope someone can better figure out why all the later verions work only after installing and starting rc6 before them. Maybe this can help. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
