And apparently it does, but by default Wine has no fonts there. See the first few paragraphs here: http://wiki.jswindle.com/index.php/Fonts One way to fix this would be to include /usr/share/fonts even on Windows. It's harmless, right?
Probably, but I just don't have the Wine experience (and no Windows experience at all) to give you a definitive response about what the best fix should be. One important issue is the above wiki seems quite dated in spots so I don't know how much you should trust it. Also, you don't want to have fontconfig do something brute force for Wine when there might be a much better way to get the job done. Note under Wine you can look at the registry since it is in human readable form (as .wine/system.reg). By removing all of .wine and starting fresh with winecfg (which recreates that registry file and which knows nothing about GTK+ at that stage) I discovered all my _Linux_ /usr/share/fonts/truetype fonts mentioned there before any attempts to run fc-cache. This is for wine-1.3.26 which I built myself on Linux. So obviously Wine knows where to find Linux TrueType fonts for that case, but somehow that information is not being used by font-config until you also tell it via the patch to font.conf where to find them as well. I think you need a Wine expert to give you advice on the best fix, but the patch is a useful workaround until that happens. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
