If I do a default installation of Cakewalk, it crashes upon startup. I read on winehq.com this is often due to font mapping issues that have failed to install Cakewalk's music notation TrueType Font. The suggested solution is to copy the .ttf to $wineroot/windows/fonts. After doing this copy, Cakewalk starts and runs properly! Unfortuantely, it uses the musical notation font for everything. I've tried a couple of font hacks to get around this. Anything I do that makes the default Windows fonts available again, BOOM, Cakewalk crashes on startup. And no, I didn't submit a bug to Wine - it's documented in their app database, and has been since last Feb. The point of me writing music is to write *music*, not software. Everytime I try to get my composition environment running again, I end up getting sucked into the software, so I thought I'd try a different tact. I'm trying to avoid moving back to dual booting, or buying another computer. At this point, Alexandre's work is my last hope. -- Ross Vandegrift ross@xxxxxxxxxxxx "The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies.
